In the Netherlands, governments, market, science and grid operators have joined forces for scaling up charging infrastructure. To that end, the National Agenda of Charging Infrastructure (NAL) is enforced. This is unique in Europe. Other countries are closely following the developments that are taking place. This became clear during the international symposium Future of Charging, where scaling up was one of the main themes.

The National Agenda of Charging Infrastructure – NAL
The Netherlands has been engaged in cooperation and knowledge exchange between stakeholders for some years now. Partly as a result of this, the Dutch charging infrastructure is further developed than in other countries. Bert Klerk, chairman of the NAL, explains: “In the Netherlands, as a result of the National Climate Agreement we joined forces and commited to a National Agenda for Charging Infrastructure (NAL). An agenda full of ambitions and urgent actions that we will tackle together: government, market and science. Together we will ensure that the Netherlands is ready in 2030 for the transition to full electric.”
