In Sweden they install temporary chargers containing both a battery and charger along the route when it is spring break season and everyone heads north to ski.

This allows the grid infrastructure to be better utilized and provide more charging spots for the users.

The goalposts for "No uh, EVs will never work!!!" just continue to get moved.



Batteries are common even in permanent charger installations, because they enable use of cheaper off-peak electricity, and peak charging rates higher than the grid connection.
