EV charging stations by plug type in Finland 2023-2024
Finland's electric vehicle charging infrastructure is experiencing significant growth, with 4,204 public charging stations available as of the fourth quarter of 2024. Type 2 chargers dominate the landscape, accounting for nearly 64 percent of all charging points. This expansion reflects the country's commitment to supporting the transition to electric mobility, though challenges remain in balancing infrastructure growth with the increasing number of electric vehicles on Finnish roads.
Regional distribution and future projections
The Helsinki-Uusimaa region leads in charging station deployment, boasting 786 Type 2 chargers and 123 fast-charging options of 150 kilowatts or more. However, the region notably lacks Tesla Superchargers. Looking ahead, Finland's public charging network is expected to grow substantially, reaching approximately 25,900 stations by 2029. This expansion is projected to drive significant revenue growth, with earnings forecasted to surge from 14.1 million euros in 2023 to 86.4 million euros by 2029.
Charging technology mix and adoption challenges
While Type 2 chargers remain the most prevalent, with over three times the number of high-power CCS chargers, Finland is gradually increasing its fast-charging capabilities. As of late 2024, there were about 3,300 CCS chargers with power outputs of 150 kilowatts or more. Despite this growth, the ratio of electric vehicles to public Type 2 chargers is rising, indicating that infrastructure development is lagging behind vehicle adoption. In the fourth quarter of 2024, there were 25 electric vehicles per public Type 2 charger, the highest ratio observed in recent years. This trend suggests that Finland faces ongoing challenges in expanding its charging network to keep pace with the rapidly growing electric vehicle fleet.
