French utility EDF says it wants 30% of the electric vehicle charging market in France, Belgium, Italy and the UK by the past three years. EDF CEO Jean-Bernard Levy said it wanted to be the “uncontested leader” in electric mobility by then. The company predicted almost a third of all new cars would be electric by 2030. EDF's Sodetrel subsidiary will install 75,000 charging stations and give its customers access to 250,000 stations run by other firms. Levy did not say how much EDF would spend on the project or how much it expected to get in return.
