#Hungary has achieved significant growth in its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure during the second quarter of 2024. According to the latest report from the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority (MEKH), by the end of June, there were 2,811 regulated EV chargers in operation nationwide, marking a 7% increase compared to the previous quarter and an addition of 300 chargers since the end of 2023.
In terms of regional distribution, #Budapest and Pest County have the highest number of chargers, with 970 and 380 units respectively. Notable expansion was observed in nearly every region, with Tolna County leading the growth at a remarkable 36% increase in available charging stations.
The demand for EV #charging services has also risen. Between April and June, the number of charging sessions exceeded 283,000, a 4.6% increase compared to the first quarter of 2024. Concurrently, energy consumption for charging jumped by 8.1%, reaching 5,966 MWh during the same period.
The steady increase in both the availability of chargers and the energy utilized for charging reflects the growing adoption of #EVs across the country, as well as efforts to enhance accessibility for EV users.
With continued infrastructure development, Hungary is poised to further support sustainable #transportation.
