Europe is a bit of a big place, and made up of a lot of countries with their own governments, so the charging situation varies from country to country.
I live in the Netherlands and the FastNed charging network is almost been fully rolled out, as well as charging stations from other vendors (like Shell, NLE, and Tesla).
Charging options are plentiful here, and most of them are fast (175kW) chargers.
- linuxftw 7y agoDescribe plentiful. Seemingly, you need an almost 1-1 ratio of chargers to personal vehicles if you expect 100% of vehicle owners to be driving electric. So, while it's currently a minuscule portion of electric to ICE, it doesn't say much about rolling out capacity to charge everyone's vehicle. So, you either need to roll out chargers to every residential area that currently utilizes street parking, or you need to erect some kind of charging garage.
- NotSammyHagar 7y ago1-1 ratio is crazy. there isn't a gas station for each gas car. Charging has gotten vastly more common and faster. range has increased too, which reduces the need for charging. New teslas are 370 miles.
- linuxftw 7y agoI'm willing to be there's more chargers than teslas on the road. For every Tesla on the road, there's most likely a charger at the residence or where ever the car is parked overnight.
- NotSammyHagar 7y agoWell, I believe your claim is misleading but you do have a point. Since every electric car comes with some kind of charger by definition all home owners have a charger and the vast majority of single home owners have power in the garage. However common usage in the ev scene would be charger is a commercial station with higher power than 120v.
