    It’s just weird coming from Denmark with 80% that 1 in 4 is the average, meaning half the countries are probably below that?
    But I guess it has to do with electric cars still being more expensive to buy, even though they are way cheaper afterwards both to charge than to buy gasoline, and in repairs.

      It comes down to infrastructure more than anything. I’m guessing eastern EU countries haven’t invested as heavily as western countries. From the article, it sounds like anything Italy and east has minimal EV uptake. Doesn’t matter if it’s cheaper if there is nowhere to charge, or get the car serviced.
