Mondays are stressing me out 😤 It’s time to make an entry in my diary for last week.

My new scooter insurance is ready. I received the license plate sticker for the scooter in a letter delivered to my mailbox.
-= Issues with Electric Transport =-
I’ve been watching various videos about electric transportation and identified the following main obstacles:
- Laws against light electric transport. Limiting scooter speeds, cutting bike power, forcing people to buy insurance, and so on. Every country creates laws in its own way, but they all move in the same direction: tightening control and making life for electric vehicles harder and more expensive.
- Electricity prices: You can only charge electric transport normally at home. In this sense, a scooter is an efficient tool, but an electric car will sit at a charging station and receive electricity at three times the price. Plus, you have to pay not just for the electricity, but also for the parking time.
- Lack of charging stations. This is the same problem as the previous one, just from a different perspective. Electricity is available in almost every home, but charging stations are rare. For example, I leave my car charging at a station—now do I have to walk several kilometers back to my apartment? And even for scooters, charging stations would be useful; they are even scarcer, or rather, non-existent.
