   Not in rural Europe it isn't.

   There is still no widespread charging infra. Oh sure, there are chargers. If you're lucky and your town is on a state highway there might be one or two chargers in the entire town — their purpose being so visitors don't become stranded.

   Outside of cities, they are not there in sufficient quantity for widespread adoption.

   The apartment problem has not been solved either, and people do not have the time in their lives to dedicate to charging at a shared public charger.

   Europe still loves its compact manual transmission cars; but what we may see is a transition away from diesel to petrol vehicles strictly for cost reasons.

      This was probably what people used to say about petrol stations.

         And it would have been a legitimate issue at that time too.
