For those of us city dwellers with on-street parking, there doesn't seem to be much talk about getting public infrastructure to charge them. Public charging stations? I'm not sure that will help a lot.
It seems like a future for those with suburban homes. I think those in cities don't drive that much, so maybe those car bound people are a better place to start.
I guess I can get an eBike at some point.
- greglindahl 9y agoThere's always at least one person in every electric car thread saying "but it doesn't work for me!" Many city dwellers who own cars don't park on the street, but it really varies by city. There are a few on-street chargers out there, maybe there will be more in the future if people advocate for them.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoOn street parking in a biggish city sounds like a nightmare to me anyways. It's really living on the edge of street cleaning, time limits, and so on...
- bkjelden 9y agoThere's also the constant threat of break-ins. Forgot to put your sunglasses away? Have fun replacing a window!
- dangrossman 9y agoSeveral cities are doing trials where they install a car charger on each street lamp. They already have power run to them after all.
- tankerdude 9y agoLately, they've been adding them to mall parking structures as well as at hotels and some national parks. It's coming along, but not the best. Personally, I'd like to spoke and hub it with an eBike for the last mile to make my footprint even smaller than with just my Leaf and solar panels. Basically, I want a safe place to park an ebike overnight (or a scooter, or what have you), near light rail. Then take the ebike the last few miles and back from work.
