“That’s 2 stations for what, a 20 plus unit apartment complex? Assuming 1 1/2 EVs per apartment “
ROTFLMAO! Ridiculous assumption.
Presently about 3% are EV’s. 20 x .03 = 0.6 so they have double the expected need and can add more chargers as needed!
Henry Ford was pushing Model-T’s off the assembly line before the first service station was built.
“Presently about 3% are EV’s. 20 x .03 = 0.6 so they have double the expected need and can add more chargers as needed!”
So step right up and write the check for those additional chargers as needed. If not you, then the renters, then taxpayers. Do you think those things are free?
Nobody put a gun to the head of auto buyers back in Henry Ford’s day. The public wanted cars, so entrepreneurs took the risk and opened filling stations, with no government intervention.
Greenies and the government are pushing EV’s on a reluctant public, even going so far as to curtail oil production here, sending the price of gas sky high, forcing people to go EV’s . Yes, that sounds like a good plan if you are a leftist.
Kinda misleading. It doesn't take a leap in logic to recognize that gasoline had to be routinely obtainable before an ICE automobile could be made and/or purchased.
Gas could be had at grocery, hardware, and general stores as well as various trade locations, like blacksmith, machine, and various lubrication shops that supplied oil and grease for locomotives, steam engines, etc. When a long or remote road-trip risked the availability of fuel, the daring drivers would pack their own gasoline, strapping cans on running boards.
Bowser and Tokheim, inventors of fuel pumps, both were pumping kerosene and gasoline before the Model T came on the scene in 1908. Tokheim was the first to develop a metered pump specifically for fuel in 1901 and Bowser was pumping kerosene before 1890.
Ford couldn't have, or wouldn't have, launched the Model T until he was certain the infrastructure could support it.
Now it's the other way around - automakers cranking out EV's without adequate infrastructure to support them with Uncle Sugar offering rebates and issuing mandates that we're all gonna drive the damned things.
