Spoken like a true believer. 600 charging stations worldwide, eh? There are probably 600 gasoline stations in my metro area.
Therefore, emphatically Yes, it's "largely true" that there is no charging infrastructure.
All of the things people have cited as challenges for EVs are still true:
- limited charging infrastructure
- limited range
- limited data on longevity (look at Leaf's battery life)
The range issue may be moot for commuters, who drive 40-50 miles. They can also plugin at home, and recharge at night.
EVs will grow in usage. Slowly.
The question of whether Tesla can scale up its manufacturing operation is a different one. Unrelated to EVs.
- NotSammyHagar 10y agoThere are 600 "super chargers". They are 100k+ regular high powered chargers. At my office alone there are 20 charging stations, including j1772 and high powered (40 amp) outlets.
