Have you ever wondered which European country is outdoing the rest when it comes to supporting EV adoption? Me too! Seriously, sometimes it keeps me up at night. Thankfully I’ll be sleeping easy tonight because the folks over at vehicle leasing firm,Select Car Leasing(SCL), have crunched the numbers ranking 33 European countries to find out who is the best at electric vehicles. Yes, I’m using that as a verb.

They were installing chargers at apartment buildings in underground parking garages. However, this is a space where it’s challenging to gain Wi-Fi internet connectivity. Telcos told them the only solution was for either the building owner or themselves to pay tens of thousands for an IT upgrade....

The growth of electric vehicles on the road means we need more EV charging stations.
