There’s a lot of people who seem to think an ev charging area will look basically like a gas station with the pumps switched. That is not going to happen.
A ev charging area will be a coffee shop or lounge, something that will be nice to hang around for 20 minutes. Gambling states should be ecstatic at the prospect.
Gas stations as they look today are not going to exist except to service legacy ice vehicles
- ericbarrett 4y agoIn fact, what's to stop the coffee shop from becoming the charging station? Nearly any parking lot could be retrofit!
- vineyardmike 4y agoThis bill. This bill is trying to stop it.
- SoftTalker 4y agoThe challege will be that nobody wants to spend an extra 20-30 minutes hanging around someplace doing something that they weren't needing or planning to do anyway. For example I'm not going to want to start hanging out at an EV coffee shop when I don't go to coffee shops now.
- mint2 4y agoPretty much the only time one should need to charge away from home is when driving a long distance, in which case a 20 min nap, a stroll to get the blood flowing, or a coffee every three to four hours of driving is probably a good thing. It’s like the “eating your vegetables thing” some people won’t pay to order them but they’ll eat them if they come as a side.
