I am trying to plot data on a shapefile with geopandas but the shapefile has coordinates in the millions: so for example the coordinate (30, 30) is (3000000, 3000000). Naively, I am just thinking that the separator somehow wasn't read when using gpd.read_file(). This of course causes the maps to not line up as seen in the image. Does anyone have an idea on how to approach this?

It appears you might be using something else than the the standard/default EPSG:4326 coordinate system (CRS). When loading geometry data to GeoPandas you have to specify the CRS. You can change this afterwards via GeoPandas' to_csr() function. The wanted CRS depends on your location of interest.
