So technically there’s ~119 privately owned electric cars and that number will grow rapidly – especially once infrastructure like this is in place!

I just thought it was kinda interesting that there were more chargers than (privately owned) cars. It sure is one way to fix the “Chicken and the egg” problem!

Thanks for the answer to my question, Joe.

Haha, well at least there won’t be a line!

That amounts to one electric vehicle for every 1,000 cars, second only to Norway, which has four per 1,000. The Netherlands is third at 0.6 per 1,000

Tuisk said that with the national charging network in place he hoped the number of electrical vehicles owned by individuals or companies would double to 200 this year.
