It is about the E45 between Mora and Malung, and highway 70 between Mora and Särna. Two out of a total of 37 routes in the country that are white spots on the map of fast chargers for electric cars.
The Swedish Transport Administration has now earmarked SEK 100 million for the expansion of fast chargers on roads where there are no such today. But for those who want to apply for support, it is a bit urgent, even though the application period has just begun.

Application period until May
– This money refers to support to be paid out during this year and next, and the application period ends on 17 May, says Hanna Eklöf at the Swedish Transport Administration.
How much support can there be per charging station?
– The support can be up to 100 percent and relates to investment costs, i.e. the purchase of the charger itself, soil preparation, electricity connection and the like. Most often, however, the support is around 75 percent.
Only 50 of the 85 charging stations you have granted support for so far are commissioned. Why not all?
"Some stakeholders have backed down and pulled out. This has been due to several different things, such as that it has been difficult to get enough electricity to the place they intended to build on, difficulties in gaining access to land or that the business model does not seem to hold, says Hanna Eklöf at the Swedish Transport Administration.
See in the video how many more electric cars there have been per fast charger in the last five years.
