The Netherlands is leading the way in charging points for electric vehicles, making it the perfect destination for ‘green’ motorists this summer. If you are the owner of an electric car who is filled with a level of trepidation that you may run out of battery power in the middle of nowhere, the Dutch speaking nation is the place to be.
A study by car finance company Carmoola shows the country has a total of 90,284 charging points – that’s around 242 for every 100 square kilometres of land. Luxembourg – just three hours south of Eindhoven – came second in the list with 69 points per 100km2.
Other countries where you won’t ever be too far away from somewhere to stop and boost your battery are Belgium, Switzerland, and Germany, coming in third, fourth and fifth respectively. Belgium is home to 45 points for every 100 square kilometres, while Switzerland has a total of 20 for the same area.
