Hungary’s electric vehicle charging network expanded rapidly in 2025, with the number of licensed charging stations surpassing 4,200 by the end of the year, according to the latest electromobility report published by the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority.

The authority said 4,227 licensed electric charging units were operating nationwide at the end of 2025, up from 3,191 at the end of 2024, an increase of more than 1,000 units within a single year.

The report also showed strong growth in electricity consumption related to vehicle charging. Quarterly energy usage reached 12,630 megawatt-hours (MWh), reflecting the continued rise in electric vehicle adoption across the country.

Budapest remained Hungary’s largest charging hub, with 1,462 charging units in operation. It was followed by Pest County with 510 units, Hajdú-Bihar County with 415 and Veszprém County with 210. The fewest chargers were registered in Nógrád County, where 31 units were available.

Of the total charging infrastructure, 3,079 units supported alternating current (AC) charging, while 813 offered direct current (DC) charging. Another 335 chargers were capable of both AC and DC charging.

By the end of 2025, Hungary’s charging network included 7,530 connectors in total. The majority were Type2 AC charging connectors, which remain the dominant standard across Europe.

During the final quarter of 2025, service providers recorded 519,373 charging sessions nationwide. The total electricity used for charging increased significantly compared with the same period a year earlier, rising from 8,693 MWh in late 2024 to 12,630 MWh.

Of that amount, AC charging accounted for 2,158 MWh, while DC fast charging represented the overwhelming majority at 10,472 MWh.

The energy regulator noted that a detailed report and an interactive map of licensed charging stations are available on its official website.
