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. No one likely thinks about the fact that it can take 30 minutes to 8 hours to recharge a vehicle between empty or just topping off. What are the drivers doing during that time?
ICSC-Canada board member New Zealand-based consulting engineer Bryan Leyland describes why installing electric car charging stations in a city is impractical:
“If you’ve got cars coming into a petrol station, they would stay for an average of five minutes. If you’ve got cars coming into an electric charging station, they would be at least 30 minutes, possibly an hour, but let’s say its 30 minutes. So that’s six times the surface area to park the cars while they’re being charged. So, multiply every petrol station in a city by six. Where are you going to find the place to put them?”
The government of the United Kingdom is already starting to plan for power shortages caused by the charging of thousands of EVs. Starting in June 2022, the government will restrict the time of day you can charge your EV battery. To do this, they will employ smart meters that are programmed to automatically switch off EV charging in peak times to avoid potential blackouts.

EV owners OBVIOUSLY have a lot of spending money to toss around.
Lithium, contrary to the pie-in-the-sky promises of one of the EV apostles here.
And George Sore-Ass. Of *course* he has our best interests at heart..
Sounds like the propane tank dispenser at WallhyWorld.
If manufacturers are selling EVs, into the future, as fast as they can make them, what are you trying to assert here?
Mr. Homeowner?
I know I'm just renting, but could you install one of them chargers for me?
Mr. Homeowner: I could, but it’ll be out by the street as I don’t want to take the chance of your car exploding and burning down my investment property.
Kinda surprised to not see Fauci’s name.
There are a couple at my local Jeep dealers shop area.
Why does rest of world have cheaper cell phone than the us?
For many reasons. Europe for instance is very dense population wise and do not have a lot of spread out expensive infrastructure like we do building cell towers out in timbuctoo Montana
Most countries have very strict data limits that we do not have.
Cannot compare apples versus apples.
That’s what scrapers are for!
No more accidental spillage at the pump!
It takes the FF to CREATE the electricity!
And a Steam Engine has...
I’m not asserting EVs here. I’m correcting the outright mistruths and errors and misinformation that I see on post after post, thread after thread.
I can care less what you buy but don’t lie about evs because you want to make them a political issue. Growing numbers of people are buying EVs because they see the value in them or it fits their needs and they have no interest in it being green.
I am done though.Had enough
You got it!
(But it seems some have bought STOCK, so...)
(or are selling it!)
Well yeah, if it’s easy & cheaper to just plug it in at work, no surprise he does.
So his business adds the cost of this charging to every product it sells, so the customer ends up supplying power to your boss.
Cool!
