It's hard to make out, but there is a road that connects Canada and Iceland. And it's got free electric boat car charging stations as far as the eye can see.
Sun Country Highway claims it has "electrified virtually all of Canada's Highways" – well over free-to-use 1,000 EVSEs (charging stations) – and will not be setting up shop in the northern Atlantic island country with help from our friend Gisli Gislason and EVEN in 2015. EVEN imports EVs into renewable-energy-heavy Iceland and then resells them. The company has had a hard time getting started, though, working with companies like AMP that ended up not delivering and at one point publicly thinking about buying bankrupt Better Place.
Sun Country's plan is to make Iceland "a world leader, in less than 12 months." That leadership will be bolstered by the fact that almost 100 percent of the electricity produced in Iceland is made from renewable energy, making EV miles there some of the cleanest of any nation.
Earlier this year, Sun Country worked out a deal with Via Motors to buy $80 million worth of Via extended-range PHEV utility vehicles. Sun Country has put EVSEs along Canada's highways as well as at a number of hotels, making emission's free road trips in the Great White North a possibility.
