Amsterdam has reached the milestone of 10,000 public charging points. Equans placed the Alfen charging station with the 10,000th charging point in Amsterdam-Zuidoost. Alderman Melanie van der Horst unveiled the charging point decorated with children’s drawings together with upper-class pupils of primary school ‘De Blauwe Lijn’.

The school is currently working on the theme ‘clean air’. Electric driving helps make the city’s air cleaner. For the Amsterdam municipality, further improving air quality is an absolute priority for the coming years. An excellent charging station network is a basic prerequisite for further stimulating electric transport in the city.

In January, the pupils of ‘De Blauwe Lijn’ were given a lesson on the importance of clean air. They then got creative with this design. The winning drawings are now permanently displayed on the charging station opposite their school. With this milestone, Amsterdam now has 5,000 charging stations with a total of 10,000 charging points and 240 fast chargers. This makes the Amsterdam charging network one of the most extensive in the Netherlands. The network grows along with demand: where charging is high, the municipality quickly installs additional charging stations.

Cooperation

Amsterdam also works together with other parties to make the air in the region cleaner. This also happens in places where the municipality cannot decide for itself. For instance, the municipality also consults with Schiphol Airport. Although the municipality cannot make decisions there, Amsterdam tries to maintain influence on measures for cleaner air through discussions and lobbying. Amsterdam also cooperates in the North Sea Canal area, including with the North Sea Canal Area Environment Service and the Port Authority. Together with involved parties, Amsterdam makes agreements to reduce emissions from industry and shipping.

There are currently 207,374 charging points throughout the Netherlands. As such, our country has one of the best charging infrastructure networks in Europe.
