I'm in a city in Norway. It is very common to park cars on the street: The city is expanding their curbside charging stations because of it, and spaces are reserved for electric cars. Most parking garages I've seen here have some charging stations and a number of workplaces do as well, though admittedly that infrastructure might be, in part, due to engine warmer things. Not all workplaces provide parking, but as mentioned, the spaces you pay for often have this as an option. A good number of gas stations and shopping centers have charging as well. I've only lived here 8 years and it has grown exponentially. I'm pretty sure, however, that the government has taken some initiative to expand the infrastructure. After all, electric cars are pretty well subsidized and you get everyday driving perks (like being able to drive in the bus lane). When folks are buying new here, they are buying electric and they aren't worried about meeting their "all-electric" goals. And realistically, government involvement, organization, and action are going to be the things that make it more difficult in, say, the US or the UK (From what I can tell: I'm American and am not as intimate with UK politics) |
