By 2025, approximately 80,000 individuals are employed across 3,500 European electric vehicle charging companies. This number is projected to rise significantly, reaching an estimated 160,000 employees by 2030.
In the rapidly evolving world of electric vehicles (EVs), Europe is witnessing a significant expansion in the EV charging sector. According to data from EVBoosters, an expert in EV charging recruitment, the industry is projected to employ over 162,000 full-time workers by 2030, marking a 102.5% growth from 2025.
Leading this charge are companies such as ChargePoint, a prominent operator offering public charging networks across Europe and other regions, and Müller Holding GmbH & Co. KG, which plans to install fast charging stations in partnership with MVV Energie AG and ADS-TEC Energy across Germany and operates in nine European countries.
The European EV charging industry is dominated by Charge Point Operators (CPOs), with a high concentration in Germany, where many DSOs (Stadtwerke) also provide charging services. Beyond CPOs, other key players include Service & Installation Companies, AC and DC Manufacturers, Charging Software Providers, and Electric Mobility Service Providers (eMSPs).
The industry's growth is not limited to national borders. Businesses are increasingly operating beyond their home territories, with Belgium, Denmark, Spain, and Italy rapidly expanding their charging infrastructure. This expansion is expected to create approximately 16,400 new jobs between 2025 and 2030, adding to the existing workforce of around 80,000 in 2025.
Collaboration among governments, businesses, and investors is crucial to prepare Europe's workforce for the next phase of electrification. Policy incentives, such as funding for green energy jobs and EV infrastructure expansion, support job creation in this sector. Strategies to bridge the skills gap and attract new talent include training and upskilling programs, investment in research and innovation, and policy incentives.
As the EV charging industry continues to grow, it's clear that Europe is at the forefront of this exciting transition. With over 3,500 active companies in the market, the future of sustainable mobility looks promising.
