But this isnt happening quickly enough for VWs CEO, Herbert Diess.
No bathroom, no coffee, an out-of-service/broken charging point, a sad state of affairs.
It was anything but a premium charging experience, IONITY!
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
VW partly owns Ionity.
Not a great experience, being called out by your investors publicly!
UK MP reluctant to embrace EV charging vehicles
But its not only CEOs complaining.
Its hardly comforting thoughts from a member of a government pledging to cut carbon emissions.
Why are people suspicious of EVs?
Worse, 10% even admitted to being scared of charging.
Are they scared of being electrocuted?
Clearly, theres a need for better public education.
This couldnt be further from the truth.
Further, the need for charging is not as great as a lot of people think.
The reality is that EV charging stations are growing exponentially, especially across Europe.
Germany has overpublic 44,000 charging stations, andFrance over 30,000.
London recently launched a first-of-its-kindEV charging system that sits flush within the pavement.
The US currently has 104,000 public chargers.
No one wants to sit in their carwaiting for a free charger, blocking the bay.
Its a practice that makes a lot of sense, especially in improving the customer experience.
