Me. Pretty good show. We like a bit of Scandi Noir in Sweeney Towers.

As do we. But have you seen a Tesla?

Teslas - not a common site in Euroland, at least judging by the non-use of chargers.
Pic 1 - me at a hotel near Reims, Pic 2 - a huge French superkarket near Lyon on a very busy Saturday afternoon.

And if I may say, very prudent Porsche parking. 😂🤣😂

Hi Dandock
It was posed just for the photo, but in 48hrs, no Tesla!

But at least there were chargers! But no Teslas in Wisting either. I was under the impression that Norway was majority EV already.

Out of interest I just googled Teslas in Norway, a Utube vid told me that Oslo has over 2000 FREE chargers, free parking nationwide no tolls for EV's. All subsidised from their national Sovereign Fund, which comes from Oil & Gas profits. Huge sales of Tesla and other EVs. Why not here in the UK?

Interesting article about Ionity, who are seen as the major player outside Tesla in high power charging, following a change in their charging strategy announced this week.
