EU drives zero-emissions, shift to EVs can’t wait!
To fight global warming, the European Union (the EU) has been trying to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. At its core is the transition to electric vehicles. To support the widespread use of electric vehicles, the EU member states will have to install public charging points at least every 60 kilometers along their roads by 2025. Consumers are concerned about not being able to charge their cars with electricity when driving long distances. The EU Commission estimates that it will cost 802.2 billion euros (about 110 trillion yen) to install public and private chargers across the EU by 2040.
