WHO COULDN’T SEE THIS COMING.?????
IF things are backed up at the gas station-—the wait is usually less than 6 minutes for the driver in front of you to finish & open up a space for you.
Don’t rain on my Charage!
Anybody with half-a-brain would have been able to figure it out. There would never be enough charging stations to accommodate everyone in the world driving an EV. My mind has conjured up my own scenario of roving crowds of bandits, arriving at the EV stations, swooping in on those individuals who are in line, not being able to move anywhere, holding them at gunpoint, and robbing as many of them as they can, then leaving just as quickly. They'd have vans full of robbers who they'd drop off a short distance away (easy get-away). The thieves would rush in, and rush out, hitting as many people as they could, then leave as quickly as they arrived. The cops wouldn't be able to do anything about it, because in all likelihood, they wouldn't even be able to drive their vehicles into the area, because of the lengthy lines. They don't stop looters now. Why would they attempt to stop robbers of this type?
Not enough chargers?
Simple solution - make chargers part of the vehicle!
Then one only needs an AC outlet, and the grid is already EVERYWHERE now!
