The electrification of transport is underway, and with it, the need for efficient and reliable charging systems. In 2023, more than 390,000 drivers shared (between April 20 and December 31) their opinions on Chargemap, allowing the application to draw up a portrait of the best charging networks for electric cars in Europe .

Overall, in Europe, the leading pack is not entirely a surprise. The Tesla Superchargers network is closely followed by the Dutch company Fastned. However, we find the French Electra in third place – these three networks are distinguished by the overall charging experience in Europe, which means, among other criteria, the presence of reliable infrastructure and great ease of use.

Tesla, Fastned and Electra dominate most of the rankings (but there are a few surprises)

Here is the overall ranking of the operators of charging stations in Europe:

2. Fastned
3. Electra
4. Carrefour
