Just found this on a dutch website: Amsterdam krijgt Europas grootste elektrische tankstation - Groen7 (http://www.groen7.nl/amsterdam-krijgt-elektrisch-tankstation-langs-de-ring/)

With Google translate: Google Translate (http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.groen7.nl%2Famsterdam-krijgt-elektrisch-tankstation-langs-de-ring%2F)

But I think I can do a better job:


In 2012 Amsterdam will get the largest charging station for electric vehicles along the A10 city-ring at the exit of the "Amstel Businesspark".

There will be 40 regular charging stations, along with 4 fast-chargers. Public transport will be available at the this location.

Taxi-E started offering taxi services in Amsterdam and Amstelveen last week with a fleet of 20 luxurious taxi's (Nissan Leafs).

The chargers will be publicly available.

Great news! More == better!

The regular charging stations will probably be 3x16A and the fast-chargers probably 50kW CHAdeMO, not bad at all.

Great news. More EV drivers can stop paying your high gas prices.

By the way, does anyone know how many Roadsters have been sold into the Netherlands?
Switzerland claims the highest density per capita, but I wonder how Germany, UK & Holland rank for total numbers sold?

I thought there are about a 100 Roadsters in the Netherlands.

Just got the Tesla newsletter, 100+ Roadster in the benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg), where I think most of them are in NL.
