A video posted on Reddit showing forty Tesla electric cars queuing up in front of a Supercharger charging station has once again stirred up the spirits about the infrastructure for electric cars in Europe. The specific case comes from a Swedish winter resort, where you can see cars with snow on the hoods and roofs and with external ski racks. Everything indicates that visitors to the ski resort decided to charge their cars before going home.
The video shows only a few stations, where there are long queues. Considering that the charging time for an electric car is measured in 30-60 minutes, as well as the increased load on the chargers, Tesla owners will have to wait for a long time. Malung is a ski resort located in the southwestern part of Dalarna County, 280 km northwest of Stockholm.
Commentators on Reddit report that similar problems in small towns are not only found in Sweden, but also in Norway, where electric vehicle coverage is the highest in Europe. A similar problem exists in large cities such as New York and Los Angeles.
One way to solve this problem could be to schedule charging your electric vehicles, as well as use slow charging stations at resort hotels at night. Of course, if they are provided there.
The line to this Tesla charging station in Sweden.
