Maybe a dumb question, but is it safe to put a bunch of EV chargers at gas stations? I don’t think I’ve seen any so far.
- grogenaut 6y agoThere is power at gas stations already, there is in fact power at the pumps. They also let you drive your car up to the pump, use your cell phone, and wear clothing that generates static electricity.
- alexgartrell 6y agoI'm not an electrical engineer, but from watching this video [0], there seem to be about a million and a half different mechanisms to prevent sparks from chargers. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMxB7zA-e4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMxB7zA-e4Y
- speedgoose 6y agoMost gas stations in Oslo have fast chargers, between 50 and 300kW each.
- kolinko 6y agoI’ve seen them installed on a few stations already - they are in the parking areas, not filling areas - if fume concentrations are high enough to light up there then there are way bigger issues with the station :)
