It's unlikely that you'll hit those wait times due to other cars at the same supercharger, I think. Not all trips require a visit to a supercharger and unlike ICE, owners of electrical recharge daily at their homes.
It could happen for some popular routes, but it will be a minor nuisance and easily fixed with more supercharging stations on the routes that are more congested.
- makecheck 10y agoThe real problem with shared ports is that cars still occupy stations when they’re done charging, and they are not even required to “plug in” while using the convenient parking spots. You need a way to force a car to start charging while parked in special spots, and force it to leave when done (the Tesla actually could move itself out of the way automatically, if only there weren’t a charging cable attached).
- delive 10y agoIt would be a nice enhancement for drivers to have their cars move to non-charging spots after they finish charging. However, Tesla introduced fees just recently: https://www.tesla.com/support/supercharger-idle-fee https://www.tesla.com/support/supercharger-idle-fee. Also, after Dec 31, supercharging won't be unlimited for newly bought Teslas.
