Swedish Transport Administration says No to road signs for charging stations

The Swedish Transport Administration's sign expert Iréne Lodell says that they now want as few signs as possible by the road, and that the size of the town should make you feel what service there is. In addition, there are mobile apps that can guide you to the charging stations. But despite the restrictive policy, the agency has still allowed a few individual signs. - We only do it where there is a need, but where you as a road user can expect that there is a certain service where it should not need to be signposted, says Iréne Lodell at the Swedish Transport Administration. Thousands of gas station signs - In how many places in the country have you given permission to sign for charging stations? - There are probably about 20 places, but it is difficult to say exactly because there are no statistics on it, says Lodell. - How many signs for petrol stations can there be then? - There are thousands! It is an old symbol so it is found in very many places! --- Very outdated policy. No wonder people that don't own an electric car think it is impossible to find a charger.
