“In order to match the 2,000 cars that a typical filling station can service”
Nonsense. How many people have their own filling station at home?
99% of the time EVs will be charged at home or at work. Vastly less demand for filling stations.
And more demand for coal, diesel, lithium. Did you not read what the author stated? (In order to match the 2,000 cars that a typical filling station can service in a busy 12 hours, an EV charging station would require 600, 50-watt chargers at an estimated cost of $24 million and a supply of 30 megawatts of power from the grid. That is enough to power 20,000 homes.) Charging stations or home charging same thing. Wait for the battery powered scrapers and snow removal equipment to clear the roads in a short time. All the tractor trailers waiting to charge, you think we have supply chain issues now. Just my opinion.
So, for example, you're imagining multi-story apartment complexes with charging stations in front of each parking space?
There's no telling how many thousands it would cost to refit my condo parking area with a recharging station.
Suddenly the ol' horse-and-buggy isn't looking so bad!
