By Q1, 2021, 5% of all new car sales in the US were EVs. This is great news for the environment, but the US needs the infrastructure in place to keep all those EVs charged. In June 2023, plug-in car sales reached 45% in the Netherlands. In many areas, businesses requesting electricity are being denied or postponed.
