You are what they call "high hanging fruit". People like you won't be part of the equation until deeper into the adoption curve. But the answer is: your car will charge itself somewhere and drive itself to you.
- ocb 10y agoNot saying that won't happen eventually, but it seems a lot more likely to me that on-street public charging facilities will proliferate as EVs gain popularity.
- erikpukinskis 10y agoThere will be some, but car ownership will collapse as soon as it becomes more expensive per mile than being driven around by the Uber/Tesla/Google fleets. And it'll be much easier politically and financially to replace your car with a fleet than to get new infrastructure installed in cities. It will happen in specific places (Portland, Helsinki, etc) but I think the adoption curve of street charging will be dwarfed by the adoption of self-driving cabs by 2025. Self-driving cabs don't have to be allowed everywhere for that to happen, they just have to be allowed in more places than there are electric street charging infrastructure projects.
- bhhaskin 10y agoOnly issue there is it will more than likely no longer be "your" car, but a paid service like Uber.
