Electric Vehicle Charging Hotspots: Exploring the Top EV Charging Locations Globally

Scotland and Norway, home to the Kylesku Bridge and Nordkapp, are renowned for their breathtaking landscapes. However, the hills of Scotland can pose a challenge for electric vehicle (EV) owners, as the range may be affected. On the other hand, Scotland is greener and larger than many people imagine, boasting extensive road networks leading to various sights. One such destination is Loch Inver, near Lairg, which offers a warm welcome to visitors and a charging station for EVs, conveniently located within a 30-second walk from Delilah's, a charming spot to enjoy a drink while watching the sunset over the loch.

Across the Atlantic, the USA offers approximately 3.8 million square miles of land, providing numerous opportunities for an electric road trip. One such hidden gem is Ruby Falls, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This underground waterfall, adorned with mood lighting, offers charging stations for EVs, making it an ideal stopover for travellers. Chattanooga, Tennessee, is also a delight to pronounce, with its rolling 'r's creating a musical cadence.

In Australia, 75 kW charging stations suitable for longer trips are primarily located along major highways and popular travel routes, including the 'Electric Super Highway' connecting cities like Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, as well as in regional centers and tourist destinations. These fast-charging stations enable quicker recharging for EVs and are operated by networks such as Chargefox and EVIE. One such location is the Nullabor Roadhouse in South Australia, situated on a 1,000km stretch of the country.

The annual El Prix range test in Norway tested the limits of EVs, with the Polestar 3 emerging victorious. The success of Polestar was celebrated at the FAT International Ice Race, where the company also launched its stylish race suit and helmet combo. The Polestar Arctic collection was also showcased at this year's FAT International Ice Race.

The View Hotel in Honningsvaag, Norway, near the Nordkapp, offers a vantage point and chargers for EVs, but they are only available to guests. The Nordkapp, a location that offers a view almost at the top of the world, is a must-visit for any traveller seeking awe-inspiring vistas.

In conclusion, whether you're embarking on an electric road trip across the USA or exploring the scenic routes of Scotland and Norway, the charging infrastructure is rapidly improving to support your journey. So, pack your bags, charge your EV, and embark on an adventure of a lifetime!
