But because of the harsh climate, Fenno-Scandinavians are already used to plug their car when they park it at home or at work (to warm up the engine and the interior in wintertime). Less change, an habit of seeing plugs a bit everywhere and the knowledge that it is not so much of a practical, legal, financial problem to have such a network installed, so less reluctance to switch, compared to inhabitants of southern Europe who imagine, rightly or wrongly, major obstacles to overcome for everyday use.
