The VCÖ urges a faster expansion of charging stations for electric cars in tourist regions. The reason: Austria's holiday guests are increasingly traveling with battery-powered cars.

In the Netherlands, Austria's second most important country of origin for holiday guests after Germany, 35 percent of newly purchased cars are already battery electric vehicles. For tourism, the expansion of charging stations at accommodation establishments is important, the transport club explained in a press release on Thursday.

The VCÖ, which advocates for climate-friendly mobility, has evaluated data from E-Control and Austria Tech. According to this, Lower Austria has the most public e-charging points with around 5,900, followed by Upper Austria with just over 4,200. In relation to the number of electric cars registered in the state, Tyrol has the most public e-charging points, followed by Salzburg and Carinthia.
