I was leaving a town that didn’t have a working high-speed charger when a petrol station that had shiny new metal totem poles next to the road caught my eye. And these chargers were working. It wasn’t the only time we spotted unmapped power sources, but some of them were so new they were not even connected to the grid yet. #EV #charging #Europe #roadtrip
