title: European EV Charging Buildout (EAFO) - recharging points per country, cleaned Parquet
description: The installed base of electric-vehicle recharging points across Europe, per country over time - the European mirror of the US EV-charging buildout. From the European Alternative Fuels Observatory (EAFO/DG MOVE): the AFIR-methodology quarterly AC/DC split (2020→present) plus the pre-AFIR annual totals (2012-2019), stitched into one clean multi-country Parquet keyed by country code. Note: AFIR counts recharging POINTS (connectors), not stations/sites.
