In recent years, electric vehicles have become more and more common both around the world and in Croatia as well. The reason for this is various initiatives to preserve the environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions aimed at sustainable mobility, with the European Union standing out as a leader. The introduction of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is an essential step in supporting the increasing number of electric vehicles on the roads worldwide and in the EU. However, the expansion of the electric vehicle charging station network presents new challenges. This paper will explore key considerations for the development and planning of electric vehicle charging station infrastructure in the EU with a focus on Croatia. The development of the infrastructure and network of chargers for electric vehicles is therefore crucial to support the increasing number of electric vehicles on the roads. Planning a network of charging stations for electric vehicles must take into account the specific needs of different regions, including urban and rural areas, as well as tourist destinations. Furthermore, reality shows that it is extremely important for governments, private sector companies and other stakeholders to work together to develop a comprehensive plan for the introduction and further expansion of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
