>People who buy EVs charge at home.
This statement is too absolute.
Only some subset of people who buy EVs charge at home. (Clearly it’s good to have the option if possible.) But others charge at work (often for free) and at public chargers or Tesla superchargers.
- Lendal 7y agoIt's not an absolute statement. It's a statement in support of the statement that not as many charging ports are needed as gasoline pumps. Another way to say it: 0% of ICE vehicles can be refueled at home. The percentage of EVs that can be refueled at home is significantly higher than 0%.

On the other hand, the number of charging point minutes needed per 100 miles for an EV is much greater than the number of fuel pump minutes per 100 miles for an ICEV, so you need a very large percentage of EV charging to be done at home just to bring the number of charging points per EV needed to be equal to the number of gas pumps needed per ICEV.
- skybrian 7y agoIt seems like if there is one charger per car (whether you keep your car at home or in a garage) then that would be a lot more electric chargers than gas pumps? Gas pumps get shared between a lot of cars. This doesn't seem like a bad thing. It's nice to have your own charger.
