France to Create Network of Electric Car Charging Stations

France to Create Network of Electric Car Charging Stations

By Dan Gould on October 8, 2009

The French government announced last week that they would dedicate $2,2 billion dollars towards creating a large network of charging stations for electric vehicles. This new initiative will also require all parking lots to contain battery charging stations by 2015, and all new apartment buildings with parking lots to have them by 2012.
