Where Can You Find an Electric Vehicle Charging Network? Estonia

MatthewVD writes "How hard can it be to find an electric car charger? So hard that New York Times reporter David Broder had to drive in circles and drain his Tesla's battery. Charging infrastructure has been ultimate chicken or egg problem for electric cars adoption but finally, there's a good test case. In Estonia, drivers need to travel only 37 miles to reach a CHAdeMO quick charger. There are 165 of the direct current plug-in chargers, that can charge a car's lithium battery in 30 minutes for an average cost of $3.25. The question now is, will the electric vehicles follow?"

Got to give some credit to this AC - most of the 10-year-olds I know can't put down the Xbox controller long enough to read Slashdot, let alone actually bang out a post.
The profanity is spot on, though. Reminds me of those Halo 2 sessions from back in the day.
