🙋‍♂️Two weeks ago, we asked the community what is the biggest challenge facing Europe’s EV charging infrastructure, and here comes the result!

🔋46% believe inconsistent user experience is the biggest issue.
🪛38% pointed to poor reliability as the main problem.
🔌15 % think the lack of public chargers is the most significant barrier.

Your feedback echoes what we’ve been hearing and experiencing this summer. While there’s been progress in expanding EV charging networks across Europe, it’s clear that reliability and user experience are still major pain points, and there is work to be done to make charging more seamless and accessible. 💫🌍

At Fount, we’re committed to addressing these issues and working towards a better EV charging infrastructure for everyone. Together, we can power the future of electric mobility! 💪⚡

Let’s refresh our minds after the holiday with our latest blog on the current state of Europe’s EV charging system!🚘🔋Our colleagues took a road trip across Europe this summer, and their experiences revealed some fascinating insights.

Highlights:

❌Persistent Challenges: Reliability issues and user experience problems remain.
🗝️Quantity vs. Quality: Balancing the number and quality of charging points is key. Norway serves as a clear example of a well-developed charging network.
