I can attest to this. Speaking solely of Poland, I last visited family in July 2022. Rather than renting a car, I rented a 1250 GS and covered roughly 2000 miles over the 10 days I was there. You would think I saw at least 20 charging stations, right? Zero! ZERO charging stations that I came across, and that included major cities like Warszawa, Lodz, Wroclaw, Krakow, Zakopane, Rzeszow.

I can't even imagine a town like Karpacz or Zakopane to be completely electrified with no ICE vehicles. In the summer time you can't even drive a car through those towns or you're stuck in hours of traffic. Charging an electric car the the dead of summer in one of those towns Good luck!
