Nationale Agenda Laadinfrastructuur (NAL)

What Nationale Agenda Laadinfrastructuur (NAL) does

The Nationale Agenda Laadinfrastructuur (NAL) is a Dutch public-private coordination program, established in 2019 under the Klimaatakkoord (Climate Agreement) and presented by the cabinet on June 28, 2019, to align the rollout of EV charging infrastructure with the growth of electric mobility across the Netherlands. Its mission is to ensure that all electric drivers can charge safely and intelligently at any time, whether at home, in public spaces, on business parks, or at fuel stations, without overloading the electricity grid. NAL coordinates six regional cooperation structures (Noord, Oost, Zuid, Zuidwest, Noordwest/Laadwerk, and the G4 of Amsterdam, Den Haag, Rotterdam, and Utrecht), nine thematic working groups (covering procurement, smart charging, safety, logistics, data monitoring, construction, passenger transport, price transparency, and communications), and a Vliegende Brigade field team that provides direct municipal support.

The organization's core technical assets are data infrastructure products rather than commercial software: the LINDA national database for charging locations and usage data, the Outlook Mobiliteit integral forecast tool developed by ElaadNL providing neighborhood-level projections for EV adoption, charging demand, and grid impact, and the Dashboard Laadinfrastructuur maintained by RVO with interactive viewers and maps for light and heavy transport. Complementary tools include the Laadkaart Zwaar Vervoer voor Bouwvoertuigen map, the Storymap Laadprognoses op Bedrijventerreinen for industrial-site demand forecasting, and the Tool Inschatting Vermogensvraag voor Zero Emissie Bouwprojecten. Its functional benefit is enabling data-driven planning, standardized procurement, smart-charging pilots, and cross-regional knowledge sharing among municipalities, provinces, grid operators, and market parties.

NAL does not sell products or services and generates no commercial revenue; it is publicly funded as a government coordination platform under the Climate Agreement, with the Ministry of Infrastructure & Water Management and Ministry of Climate and Green Growth providing political direction, RVO acting as secretariat, and operational partnerships with VNG (municipalities), IPO (provinces), ElaadNL (grid operator research), NKL (knowledge platform), Formule E-Team, and ANWB. The program distributes outputs via the agendalaadinfrastructuur.nl website, monthly newsletter, LinkedIn presence, regional and national events, and on-site municipal engagement. Primary beneficiaries are municipalities and grid operators, with secondary engagement from logistics companies, the construction sector, EV drivers, and charge point operators.

Core offering

NAL coordinates the nationwide rollout of EV charging infrastructure in the Netherlands through 6 regional cooperation structures, 9 thematic working groups, and a Vliegende Brigade field team. It delivers data-driven planning tools including the LINDA database, Outlook Mobiliteit forecasts, monitoring dashboards, and interactive maps that municipalities, provinces, and grid operators use to plan and procure public charging infrastructure.

Product overview

The Nationale Agenda Laadinfrastructuur (NAL) is a public-private coordination program, not a traditional product company. It functions as a governance and coordination body for Dutch EV charging infrastructure. Its 'products' consist primarily of data dashboards, monitoring tools, interactive maps, forecasting tools, and knowledge documents that support municipalities, provinces, and network operators in planning and deploying charging infrastructure. Key offerings include the Dashboard Laadinfrastructuur (monitoring dashboard), the Laadkaart Zwaar Vervoer (heavy transport charging map), the Outlook Mobiliteit (mobility forecast tool), and the Storymap Laadprognoses (charging demand projections for industrial sites). These are supported by specialized working groups and regional project organizations.
