Tesla Motors to install charging stations

The American electric car producer has decided to build two battery charging stations in Poland: one near Łódź and another near Poznań, according to Puls Biznesu. Tesla Motor's website shows a lack of "superchargers" in Eastern Europe, aside from one station in Slovenia. The website also shows a total of five stations planned in Poland by 2015. The idea for the stations is to place them along highly frequented highways, in order for users to be able to recharge their car at reasonable intervals. Currently, there are about 112 such stations in North America and 62 in Europe. Tesla's Model S sells for $70,000, but a less expensive model (the Model E) is due for release soon, as reported in Puls Biznesu. "Development of infrastructure will end the vicious cycle of argumentation: no infrastructure, because there are no sales; there are no sales, because there is no infrastructure," explained Wojciech Drzewicki, the president of the Automotive Market Research Institute (IBRM) SAMAR.
