That must be why he had such a problem finding one, huh?

Of course he didn’t have a problem. He planned it that way so he could present a smooth experience for his video. Not everybody who drives has that luxury.

You might have missed the statement in the video where he points out that Kalifornia has plenty of charging stations. But by saying that he is also conceding that other areas of the country are not as well endowed.

You must not have read my initial post where I pointed out that he chose a low traffic day for his stunt. In other words, something other than a holiday weekend or other heavy travel day.

That’s when the problems of insufficient capacity show up.

If data from a given charger location indicates, for example, that 50 charging ports would be enough to prevent a wait time issue at absolute peak demand times, would it be economically justifiable to provide that capacity, knowing that 95% of the time 40 of those ports would stand idle?

Probably not.
