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.

300 Miles at what temperature and terrain? In my state it is not uncommon to have hills. Half a mile climbs at 3-6% grade. The electric buses the City purchased climb the smaller ones at 15 mph, just a little faster than I can ride on my bicycle. Those cool little Teslas zoom up them, but who can afford 100K for one? or 70K?
Back in the 70’s, Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which did not suck.
Likewise, the Left keeps proclaiming...
If we had put in only 1% of the budget we had for _____________, we’d have ___________ thing totally licked by now.
What exercise?
That is a real risk.

I notice this about you. You quote things without understanding them. Like that final quoted paragraph. That was how you were off by more than 100 orders of magnitude prior to this. You do not know math, so you should probably refrain from criticizing it. You keep sending out questions to me after we had our little interaction, and you never show that you understand what is behind the questions nor the concepts. And yet that doesn’t stop you from criticizing those who do understand.
According to modern understanding,
***which is updated on a weekly basis. And that modern understanding is about to throw the prior understanding of electrons out on its ear.
the electron is a point particle with a point charge and no spatial extent.
***Those are the kinds of things physicists do in order to be able to use easier math.
Attempts to model the electron as a non-point particle have been described as ill-conceived and counter-pedagogic.
***There we have it. Scientists engaging in scientism. Instead of simply doing the hard math or finding more suitable ways to understand what’s going on.
LOL The toons who think going to Mars is the vacation spot of the future are the same ones who think the same about electric cars! Occam’s Razor!
That’s a lot of copper!
I notice certain things about your answers as well. You tend to not address the point I bring up but instead vector off into haranguing me about my lack of understanding.
***Those are the kinds of things physicists do in order to be able to use easier math.
When it finally does, THEN get back to me.
***There we have it. Scientists engaging in scientism. Instead of simply doing the hard math or finding more suitable ways to understand what’s going on.
What we have here, is an attempt at deflection.
Your attempts at deflection have been described as ill-conceived and counter-pedagogic.
It already has. Read up. Then get back to me.
“is about to”
***This is what you do. And you are good at it. It’s the astronomer’s trick of holding up your thumb to the sun to block out its rays so you can look at what might be near it. And then you pretend as if it’s just as bright as the sun — that’s where you go off into the weeds. Because anything blocked out by the sun isn’t as bright as the sun from so far away, duhhh... But it doesn’t stop you from overlooking sumthin a hundred orders of magnitude difference and focus on some idiotic stupid minor point. I would rather harness the sun’s rays, thank you very much. And I’d prefer you stick your thumb where the sun don’t shine.
I notice certain things ... as well.
***Then you acknowledge this terrible thing about yourself. That’s a good start.
And this is what YOU typed:
And now you are rambling on about sunshine.
Which I doubt that you are capable of doing.
You’re at the start. Remember that you were off by over a hundred orders of magnitude. But of course you “doubt”, once again, those who are ahead of you by even orders of magnitude.
