The electric car market is negatively affected by at least four factors, including the low number of public charging stations and poor infrastructure, said Adrian Săcuiu, managing partner at Elvo.

“Of the total number of charging stations in Romania, no more than 20% are public facilities, the rest are owned by private users or companies,” said Săcuiu, at the conference “Digitalization and Energy Efficiency – Bucharest” organised by Energynomics together with the Italian Chamber of Commerce for Romania – CCIpR.

There is also a lack of control over who installs the charging stations, as well as a problem of monetisation of these stations by their private owners. According to available data, most electric car battery charging is done at home. To support the market, Elvo has launched a management platform for operators of electric car charging station networks.
