Lifestyle/Trends Story: Electric Vehicle Charging Hubs Boom as EU Wheels Towards 2035 Ban

Charging infrastructure races ahead
As the European Union gears up to ban new internal-combustion-engine car sales by 2035, electric-vehicle (EV) charging hubs are rapidly proliferating across member states. Private investment together with government incentives has spurred a wave of urban and highway fast-charging installations. Experts say this build-out is essential to meet the surging demand forecast for EV adoption.
Urban mobility in transition
Beyond installation, operators are dealing with grid strain, site real-estate competition and interoperability between networks. Cities in Eastern Europe and smaller nations face steeper challenges due to slower power grid upgrades. For Bangladesh, a similar growth of EVs poses lessons: a synchronized push on infrastructure, regulation, and consumer incentives will be key.
