Haha good luck with that in Ireland given our government can’t even build sufficient levels of affordable housing let alone a ev charging infrastructure
Oil and Gas companies should foot the bill.
I love it. I do wonder though when will they mandate additional power plants and energy storage to make it work. Oh, and how are we affording this?
The European Parliament has reached a provisional agreement with the EU Council regarding charging and hydrogen refueling stations across Europe. The rule states that by 2026, there will be charging stations at every 60 kilometers along the TEN-T network. For those who don’t know, [the TEN-T](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-European_Transport_Network) is the EU’s ambitious transport network project that includes highways, roads, ports and trains, connecting all parts of the Old Continent.
And how will that improve the charging times?
But why and how? Let me charge my car here for 4 hours… While I stand next to my car waiting for it to be fully charged.
Electric isn’t really the way to go for long distances (300km+).
Better invest in hydrogen technology (and I men everything, the storage aspect to running as efficient as possible. Hydrogen ICE is also a possibility).
another handout to the car companies
I still don’t get why hydrogen is not the focus.
That’s a lot of chargers, the manufacturers will be pleased.
Probably won’t happen in Eastern Europe. Ev adoption is near zero and will continue to be such in 2026.
