Alt Text: A cartoon-style illustration shows a confused American tourist wearing a tan bucket hat and yellow t-shirt with a large U.S. flag patch. He holds a smartphone and gestures while asking, “Do you guys even have electricity?” In front of him, a well-dressed European man calmly charges his electric vehicle while looking at his phone. Behind them is a sleek high-speed train, the Cologne Cathedral, a visible 5G signal icon, and the EU flag—emphasizing Europe’s mix of historic architecture and advanced technology.

“ #Europe Has Electricity?! — said Chad, moments before asking for the WiFi password.”
