Electric vehicle charging in Stockholm
LONDON/STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – A stroll down Stockholm’s longest street that takes its name from the mythical Valhalla, where Norse gods feast and fight until doomsday, gives a hint of the battle today’s power grids face to keep pace with government goals to electrify transport.
Early this month, a man selling Christmas trees looked on as workers installed 10 public vehicle charging stations with two power outlets each in Valhallavägen, which is around 3.5 kilometers (2.17 miles) long.
It’s progress, but not enough.
