Reply to comment by Semifreak in The EU Parliament and Council agree to mandate charging stations every 60km by 2026 by filosoful

So in less than 3 years every EU country is going to build thousands of charging stations, completely overhaul their electrical gride and start producing several extra gigawatt hours of electricity - presumably - without using fossil fuels? Yes, sounds reasonable.

Why "thousands"? One charging station per 60km, and only along the main roads that are part of the ten-t network would amount to a few hundred tops for most countries, and in fact odds are many countries will organically have reached this goal before the deadline simply from market-demand and the additional stations that need to be built to fulfill the promise are close to zero.

You're right. I'm talking out of my ass.

Indeed.

It's strange how some commenters (here and elsewhere) don't just express doubt about future positive plans targets, but are almost barking at anything else commented that isn't completely negative and attacking.

I don't know if they are just having a bad day and venting randomly or something else odd going on.

Humans gonna human, I guess.
