Is it a joke about EV charging in Europe? Like there are super duper chargers for super advanced car batteries and rather good coal and nuclear plants but no good network between them?

    I don't think so, also electric chargers of varying quality are super ubiquitous in Europe.

    My little Eastern European hometown of 20k people has two stations of 8 plugs each.

    I agree with your point, but I also assume it’s a not a supercharger-grade? Like in China they have quite often supercharger-grade in cities practically everywhere and prices per kilowatt are no different from slow-charging (like 22kW). While in Europe I noticed that price for kWh is different based on charger’s capacity.
