Estonia has for the population of 1.3 million the network of 165 "fast chargers" for the electric cars since February 2013.[2]

Global warming

Largest carbon emissions of Estonia in respect to global warming is from oil shale in Estonia. The Estonian energy company Eesti Energia owns the largest oil shale-fuelled power plants in the world: Narva Power Plants.[7] In Estonia in 2007 more than 90% of power was generated from oil shale.[8]
