Smart charging of electric vehicles can save 10.6 billion euros for Europe

SAPO14 September 2026 at 14:02

A study called "Electricity Networks in Europe" revealed that smart charging of electric vehicles can generate savings of 10.6 billion euros for Europe. This saving is related to the investments needed in electricity distribution networks.

According to the study, approximately 24.7 billion euros of investment would be needed in distribution networks to accommodate the predicted growth of electric vehicles in Europe.

However, with the implementation of smart charge management systems, which allow coordinating when and at what speed vehicles charge, this investment need could be reduced to 14.1 billion euros, representing significant savings.

Why this matters

European readers directly benefit from this information, as the reduction of costs in electrical networks can translate into lower tariffs for consumers. This study is particularly relevant for electric vehicle owners, energy companies, and policymakers planning infrastructure investments in the coming years.
