TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taiwan is making strides toward achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, including the ban on fuel-powered cars by 2040. As a result, the electric vehicle market is growing rapidly, and there is an increasing demand for more charging stations to support this trend.

Domestic vehicle companies are working hard to establish additional charging stations to meet this demand, enabling car owners to charge their vehicles conveniently and without difficulty. Wang Po-tang, a senior associate manager of a charging pile integration operator, said that charging piles have been installed at department stores, wholesale stores, and golf courses, among other locations, wherever electric vehicles can reach.

 

Data shows that the availability and convenience of charging infrastructure have a significant impact on the sales of electric vehicles. For instance, Gogoro, the leading electric scooter manufacturer in Taiwan, saw a surge in sales after establishing over two thousand battery-swapping stations.

The Taiwanese government is taking steps to increase the adoption of electric vehicles, to have all new cars sold by 2040 be fully electric. However, the limited number of charging stations across Taiwan, currently fewer than 4,000, presents a significant challenge to the widespread use of EVs.

Nevertheless, the number of fully electric vehicles in Taiwan has increased twelvefold from 850 in 2018 to over 10,000 in 2022. As EVs will likely dominate the market, establishing more charging stations is crucial for a greener future.
