It can be significantly hard to get home charging in Europe, however. There is also a much better, more environmentally friendly option available in Europe: extensive public transport. Moreover cities are dense here. So a bike is more useful and much quicker than waiting in tens of traffic lights. Average income of Europeans is lower too. So I think it is way better to invest in better public transport is a much better deal for everybody.
Unlike the US, Europe doesn't have a shale gas industry. What if there is a conflict in the middle east, or worse.
Sadly, the world feels a lot less peaceful these days.
