- phtrivier 5y agoChicken and egg problem: there aren't enough people with EVs yet for it to become a problem. What scares me is the physical limitation of the highway stop area. The _gas_ stations there are already way past capacity on a few strategic days of the year. French people don't like waiting 20m to get gas on August 15th, but at least once they're done, filling up is 5m. I don't think any TV is going to resist filming infuriated would-be-holliday-goers burning under the sun while they wait an hour or two to fill their batteries. The first summer it arrives will be _very_ hard for the EV industry. Also, those "highway areas" are owned by... gas companies. So will they put their best will into making sure the EV-holliday experience is top-notch (maybe ramping up charging capacity with portable batteries during the summer ?) Or will they let the experience be hellish, look at the number of EV stagnating, and lobby like hell to move the ICE bans further to the future ?
