The two largest Czech companies, carmaker Škoda Auto and energy giant ČEZ, plan to work together to develop electric cars and infrastructure. Škoda will make electric cars while ČEZ will develop and build charging stations. The lack of charging stations has often been a stumbling block in the proliferation of electric cars. The two firms will work together to ensure the cars and stations are compatible and that the number of stations can meet the demand from the volume of cars produced.
