The European Commission has approved German plans to boost its high-speed electric vehicle ( EV ) charging infrastructure, expected to cost €300m ( $319m ) over four years . The electricity used for the infrastructure will come from renewable energy sources. The plans would cost a total €300m over four years and would promote the installation of new standard and high-speed charging stations for electric vehicles, as well as the extension of the existing infrastructure. In the UK , £2.5m ($ $319m ) is being available to increase EV charge points in residential areas, and councils and companies are investigating the potential for turning lampposts into EV charging points, which if viable, could cost €300m each; half that of a conventional charging point.
