They are located throughout the entire country, including the [[island]]s, and have a maximum distance of 40–60 km in between. The charging stations can also be navigated via a [[smartphone]] [[mobile app|app]] (currently only for [[Android (operating system)|Android]]). The relatively dense network and 30 minute quick charges are built to enable a country-wide [[electric vehicle network]]. The system offers a unitary booking service and several different tariffs, some of which appear attractively low priced.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://elmo.ee/pricing/|title = Lihtne ja mugav elektriauto laadimine kõikjal}}</ref> The charging station network puts Estonia at the forefront in [[Europe]] even though [[Norway]] actually has a higher penetration of [[electric vehicle]]s. Estonia has a rate of 1 electric vehicle per 1,000 capita, whereas [[Norway]] has 4 EVs per 1,000 capita.<ref name="autogenerated1"/>
