Knien<p>Just added my recent library haul to my spreadsheet and I've already borrowed €191,- worth of books, which means I've already read more than the fee of €66,- (Dutch libraries you pay for your subscription) in January alone.

Christopher Porter<p>I updated my electric vehicle charging maps with the latest data.

Canadian Veggie<p>In November 2022, I created a bunch of maps visualizing the EV fast-charging infrastructure in <a href="https://canadianveggie.com/2022/11/17/data-nerd-mapping-canadas-ev-chargers/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Canada</a> and the <a href="https://canadianveggie.com/2022/11/28/data-nerd-mapping-americas-ev-chargers/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">USA</a>. It’s time to revisit those maps and see what has changed in the past 18 months, as the number of charging stations has roughly doubled in both countries.</p><p><strong>Canada</strong></p> <p>In Canada,</p><ul><li>The number of stations has grown from 739 to 1662 (125% increase).</li><li>Quebec had good coverage before. Now it is plastered with fast chargers covering all the populous southern parts of the province.</li><li>The big gaps between Saskatoon and Winnipeg, and Saskatoon and Calgary have been filled in with new fast chargers in places like Kindersley and Yorkton.</li><li>There is still a big hole around Whitecourt, AB and the highway up to Fort McMurray (which I’m sure is mostly symbolic at this point).</li><li>The northern parts of Canada are still pretty hostile to EVs, but progress is steadily being made. Pretty soon you’ll be able to road trip from Vancouver to Whitehorse with comfortable fast charging along the way.</li></ul><p><strong>United States</strong></p> <p>In the United States,</p><ul><li>The number of stations has grown from 4024 to 7675 (91% increase).</li><li>Almost every interstate highway has good fast-charging infrastructure.</li><li>The major gaps in Texas, Mississippi, and West Virginia that existed in 2022 have been filled in.</li><li>The remaining gaps are mostly in Montanna.</li></ul><p><strong>Animated Gifs</strong></p><p>The animated maps really show the progress since 2015.
