How can you describe such a gargantuan infrastructure project as "easy"? You're talking about power structures and associated transmission to virtually every carpark in a city, as well as a way to monetize it.
- withinboredom 4y agoIt’s like that here in the NL. My power company has an EV sparking spot on every block in my neighborhood. I rented an EV for a weekend and was pleasantly shocked at how easy it was to find a charger. Well, as long as you’re not in Amsterdam. Amsterdam is hell in any kind of vehicle.
- votepaunchy 4y ago> It’s like that here in the NL. We’ve gone from “ubiquitous” to one spot on every block.
- brianwawok 4y agoThat’s potentially plenty though. You only need street charging for a relatively small Percent of the population. For most drivers 1 night in 3 would keep you fully charged.
- nonethewiser 4y agoSounds terrible. Now instead of worry about finding a spot, you worry about whether your car will be functional or not.
- brianwawok 4y agoNah you can always l3 charge for 15 minutes.
- jeffalyanak 4y agoI say it's easy to make L2 street parking ubiquitous _anywhere_, not _everywhere_ all at once. Obviously taken in totality it's a massive undertaking, but you could say the same thing about streetlamps, or roads, or basically any ubiquitous infrastructure. Many places have started with 1-2 spots per neighborhood, which is prudent and scalable. As demand rises they should be able to keep pace with that demand without significant technical challenges.
