Japan: electric-car charging points now outnumber gasoline stations
Nissan Motor Co. officials said in mid-February that the number of electricity charging points in Japan has increased to 40,000 which compares with only 34,000 gasoline stations, according to a Bloomberg report published in mid-February.
“An important element of the continued market growth is the development of the charging infrastructure,” Nissan Chief Financial Officer Joseph Peter said.
“Automakers have recognized that oil companies are unlikely to install plugs next to gasoline pumps, and are building their own networks,” Bloomberg reported.
