As if the power grid in most of Europe is even capable of supporting a fraction of that.

Well then it is good that the deadline isn't today.

So in less than 3 years every EU country is going to build thousands of charging stations, completely overhaul their electrical gride and start producing several extra gigawatt hours of electricity - presumably - without using fossil fuels? Yes, sounds reasonable.

Why "thousands"? One charging station per 60km, and only along the main roads that are part of the ten-t network would amount to a few hundred tops for most countries, and in fact odds are many countries will organically have reached this goal before the deadline simply from market-demand and the additional stations that need to be built to fulfill the promise are close to zero.

Indeed.

It's strange how some commenters (here and elsewhere) don't just express doubt about future positive plans targets, but are almost barking at anything else commented that isn't completely negative and attacking.

I don't know if they are just having a bad day and venting randomly or something else odd going on.

Humans gonna human, I guess.

How many power stations are you approving and building in 3 years. FFS please learn how something, anything works.

Well then it is a good thing you aren't the head of the EU council.

You people act like every charger will be used 100% of the time. You also act as if electric cars can't use used as batteries to power the grid under high demand lmao...

A station per 60 km is actually nonsense, the grid supports that and it's woefully inadequate.

Population has to be considered. In a space of 60 km, you can have 1 000 000 people easily enough - and 1 charging station is a joke to them. :o

(Writing this from Estonia, in the most densely populated district of Tallinn, we have maybe 6 public charging sockets and something like 50 000 people. A total rebuild of the infrastructure is required. No amount of expensive CCS or ChaDemo stations will solve the problem. It has to be something primitive and cheap deployed in large numbers: either Type 1 or Type 2, and the price tag has to be reasonable enough to fill entire streets with them.)
