Annotated map of Europe entitled "From Sweden to the South of France": Europe's diagonal charging infrastructure for electric trucks. Map of charging points for HDV in Europe". The map shows points mainly in the south-west of Sweden, the south-west of Norway, a few in Denmark, many in the Netherlands, a corridor from Paris to Lyon, in Germany a few across the country and especially on the western/south-western edge (following the Rhine). The colours indicate the main operators.

An emerging corridor for battery-electric trucks across Europe, from 🇸🇪 to the south of 🇫🇷 - plus some branches - is visible in this new map from GIREVE. Good blog on the state of play for 🇪🇺 truck charging (and how much has happened in the 8 months since their last look)
