    Do most gas stations in Germany happen to have huge parking lots to install chargers? EVs don’t complete their charge in 5 mins like gas cars. They need the space for cars to stop for at least 30 mins.

      I was thinking the same too, it’d work in larger gas stations but the Mom and Pop places are going to quickly run out of parking spots. I’m guessing that’s the 20% that are exempt. Here in the US a lot of the larger chains are already putting in EV chargers and they are always filled up.

      Very modern electric cars can hold very good on 15 minutes charge.
