Thanks to an innkeeper

A village has the highest e-charging density in the country

A resourceful innkeeper has made it possible: the mini-community of Rutzenham (Upper Austria) is ahead in terms of the number of e-charging taps in relation to the number of inhabitants. He did not receive any support from the municipality. But his investment has probably paid off. There are quite a few drivers who now stop off at his place.

The small village of Rutzenham near Schwanenstadt (Vöcklabruck district) is the smallest municipality in Upper Austria. Only 295 inhabitants (as of January 2024) live here.
