- ncmncm 5y agoDo you really imagine the existing wiring can handle 2kW for each of a hundred cars along a street?
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoThere are roughly 3 cars and lampposts both in London. What do you think makes more sense, forcing all cars to spend extra £7,000 and 300 kg of rare materials on extra battery capacity they shouldn't need, and then replacing those batteries every 15 years as they and cars are replaced? Or picking up a shovel and upgrading some cable that will serve for 100 years? Like these folks are doing? https://www.ubitricity.com/ https://www.ubitricity.com/
- ncmncm 5y agoProvisioning more power in order to provide streetside charging would be a boon for apartment dwellers with electric cars. That might involve pulling more wiring through conduits, or even raising the voltage on existing wiring and placing transformers, all of which can be done. My comment was only on whether you could charge many cars without any of that.
