Electromobility 2025: Austria relies on growth and stable framework conditions!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On December 5, 2024, electromobility in Austria is highlighted as a central success factor. With an impressive number of a quarter of a million electric vehicles, 2024 is of crucial importance for the industry. According to Philipp Wieser, the head of the Olé-Austria's control center for electromobility at Austria, the next year 2025 will be decisive for the growth of e-mobility. There is an urgent need for stable framework conditions and clear communication between politics, business and society in order to reduce existing barriers and achieve the ambitious goals. Martin Russ, Managing Director of Austriatech, also emphasizes this and explains that planning security for consumers and providers is necessary to advance the development of the e-mobility market, while at the same time there will be more than 500,000 battery-electric vehicles until the end of the decade.

relevant developments and strategies

In addition, at the European level, the AFIR regulation (alternative fuel infrastructure regulation) will create decisive standards for charging infrastructure, which are of crucial importance for decarbonizing the transport sector in the EU. These requirements, together with the European Building Efficiency Directive, set clear goals for the expansion of the infrastructure and the support of national and European programs. The Olé control center with the participation of Austria will finalize the national strategy framework (NSR) by the end of the year and present the European Commission. The activities include the support of strategic work, the further development and communication of funding programs and the promotion of a coordinated expansion of the charging infrastructure.

Industry and society are required to record these new impulses. Advances make the way for a sustainable establishment of electromobility in Austria, whereby the Olé - Austria's control center for electromobility through the provision of information and the implementation of events actively contributes to the exchange of knowledge. These initiatives will be crucial to make sound decisions and to promote the exchange between the stakeholders involved, as shown in a report by Austria.
