Transport is an important part of our daily lives. Road transport is one of the biggest polluters and producers of greenhouse gases in Europe. To reduce the negative environmental impacts of transport, zero CO₂ electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular and used by many. However, the successful integration of electric cars requires a high-quality and well-developed charging infrastructure, which still poses major challenges. A successful transition to electric mobility as a sustainable and future-proof form of personal transport is only possible with a properly developed charging infrastructure. In the paper, Slovenia's development and adaptation in the field of charging infrastructure for electric mobility will be presented, including a comparison with leading countries in this field. The work includes an analysis of the characteristics of the distribution of charging stations across Slovenia, highlighting the differences between urban and rural areas, western and eastern regions. Based on the findings, proposals are presented for improving the charging infrastructure in Slovenia, which is a prerequisite for increasing the share of electric vehicles and, in parallel, further increasing the number of charging stations.
