Europe varies wildly in uptake of EVs because incentives and infrastructure vary so much. Here in Norway 50% of new car sales are pure EV and there are chargers all over the place. Ten percent of cars in the country are now electric. A lot of petrol stations, particularly Circle K, are installing chargers too. But in the UK the story is very different, 10% of new car sales and a total of less than 2% of cars are EVs. The difference is probably down to the taxes on cars. Here in Norway expensive cars are doubly expensive because of progressive taxation on them from which EVs are exempted but in the UK you just get paid back a few thousand pounds by the state when you buy an EV. So here EVs are comparable in cost to ICE cars especially at the expensive end of the price range.
