Different from China’s government, Italy’s doesn’t make any subsidies policy for buying electric vehicles. It will rather construct a digital island for recharging, which can keep private cars away from its old towns.

The core data of the operating mode of Share' NGO in Milan include the followings. There are 35 digital islands in Milan with about 207 charge position.
