You can now, but it doesn't scale that well if electric car usage increases 10-fold for example (which is still a very little fraction of total).

- dagw 5y agoThe number of charging poles I see in public and store parking lots has literally increased 10-fold over the past 3 years. To the point where I always see several free charging points every time I bother to look. I'm reasonably convinced that this scaling can continue at the rate of electric car adoption.
- rplnt 5y agoI've seen that too. 20 instead of 2. Can it go to 200? Not really.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoIt scales better than green production of hydrogen does
- rplnt 5y agoDo you know what is even less green? Building tens of thousands of charging ports that are not being utilized because they are used for day parking.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoCare to show your math? This is 'batteries pollute the environment too" FUD all over again.
- rplnt 5y agoCare to stop pretending I'm arguing against EVs? I'm very much for EVs instead of fossil cars, but the argument that you don't need fast charging because you can charge it while at work or while shopping doesn't stand. Increasing cost of a parking space 1000 times for extra convenience is not economically feasible. The environmental implications are obious, it simply can't scale, no need to show any math (you made up your numbers first, I don't have anything to compare it to).
