Estonia is a tiny ex-Soviet nation, home to just over 1 million people. It is also the best place in the world to buy and drive an electric car because Estonia has pursued what is probably the most ambitious plan to promote nationwide electric car use in history.
165 EV fast-charging stations across the country, plus 50% off any electric car’s sticker price with a government grant up to 18,000 euros.
That’s an amazing deal.
Each charging station will be within 40-60 km (25-37 miles) of another one. Every town with more than 5,000 people gets its own charging station. As such, Estonia has essentially eliminated range anxiety altogether—it’s now just as easy to find an electric car charger as a gas station.
Wow.
