A new report from the UK suggests that there soon may be
more electric vehicle charging stations than conventional gas stations in that
country (story here).
The country is already blanketed with an “electric highway”
of 296 fast chargers on the motorway network. These are operated by a firm called Ecotricity (website
here). The motorway chargers have
been free during their first 5 years of operation, but are now switching to a
payment system. The “electric
highway” enables EVs to travel freely on major traffic corridors while
relieving the “range anxiety” that may discourage potential EV buyers. All of this, of course, facilitates the
uptake of EVs.
Why can’t we do that in this country?
