Millions of people across the globe, who are concerned about climate change, are ditching petrol or diesel-powered cars and scooters to opt for environment-friendly, battery-operated electric vehicles. While in many countries, governments are offering incentives to companies and electric vehicle owners to reduce pollution, there seems to a problem of charging points in some countries. There are some like South Korea, where there is one public electric charging port for every 2 cars, developed countries like New Zealand that has one charging point for every 52 cars.
