Chargers have been getting noticeably more busy over the last year (bay area). It's pretty absurd at this point that we are relying on private companies like Whole Foods to build public transportation infrastructure. The state really needs to get on top of this and start building out more level 3.
Probably because gas stations and EV chargers have very different logistics and modalities. For example, you could realistically put an electrical outlet by every parking space, but doing that with gas pumps would be completely untenable.
I know this was just an example of how they're different, but this particular feature should make EV chargers easier for the market to supply relative to gas stations.
A gas pump by every parking spot is probably easier at scale. Manufacturing costs would scale down significantly, and a plastic gas pipe is cheaper than a copper wire.
We don't do it because a gas car refuels fast enough that you don't need it.
But they do not make fuel. Did you forget the massive underground fuel tank though? Or even worse, gasoline pipes?
We just need a 220v outlet. That's it. The charging station is welcome but EV owners already carry their own (not all support 220v but that's an easy fix)
Each car in a city requires alot of parking spaces I've read 4-10 empty parking spaces per car. This would mean that every car owner would need to pay for that many charging stations.
