Snippet

"The agreement reached by the negotiators stipulated that electric cars must be able to charge every 60 kilometres along the main routes (TEN-T) in the European Union by 2026, offering 400 kW, with the network’s power output increasing to 600 kW by 2028.

For trucks and buses, the negotiators had agreed that there must be a charging station every 120 kilometres. These stations should be installed on half of main EU roads by 2028 and with a 1,400 kW to 2,800 kW power output depending on the road, MEPs confirmed today. And by 2031, member states must ensure that hydrogen filling stations are installed at least every 200 kilometres along the main routes"

We used the E90 through Southern Greece going from Durres in Albania to Turkey. It was about 600k from the Greek border if I remember and there wasn't a single fuel station on the entire road. I'm not joking. :(

On the return leg I bypassed Greece entirely and went through Bulgaria & Serbia. Much better. :D

Let's see how they do with this directive! :lol:

I hope and expect that the final part of that directive about H2 stations every 200km never comes to fruition. Some serious lobbying by the fossil fuel companies there.

I sincerely hope it's just a crack pipe dream! :shock:
