Until a few years ago, traveling by electric car from Austria to a destination on the Croatian part of the Adriatic was a real ordeal. Today, it is different, although the domestic network of electric charging stations still lags behind Europe. In Croatia, there are currently more than 200 charging stations for electric vehicles, with just under 300 sales points, or sockets, mostly owned by HT and HEP’s Elena. However, just as the EU has imposed obligations related to energy consumption from renewable sources on its member states, it is likely that as part of the transition to a low-carbon economy, it will force its members to prepare for a change in propulsion in vehicles for mass use. And to do everything that these vehicles need for traffic.
Moreover, a European directive on the energy efficiency of buildings is already in preparation, which would impose an obligation on Union members that every new or renovated building must provide one with infrastructure for the installation of an electric charging station for every 10 parking spaces. This directive is still under discussion, and members have some objections, especially from Eastern Europe. Croatia has also raised an objection to the directive. It requested that the obligation to install infrastructure for renovated buildings be introduced only for facilities undergoing more extensive renovations, including work on electrical installations.
