Japan Has More Electric Charging Points Than Gas Stations

There are more electric car charging points in Japan than petrol stations, according to Nissan.

The Japanese car manufacturer reports that the number of charging points in the country has surged past 40,000, compared to fewer than 35,000 petrol stations.

However, this number does include points in private homes, as well as the nearly 3,000 publicly available rapid charge points. But with the growth of the sharing economy and the rise of sites like PlugShare.com, owners of private charging points will be able to make them available to multiple users.
