EV charging stations are a lot less demanding in the form of safety, environmental regulation, and liability compared to fossil fuel fueling. You can put one in any parking lot that has a bit of slack space.
- twblalock 4y agoIt's not that easy. Have you seen the electrical infrastructure that those need? We have some spaces with Chargepoint chargers where I work, and they are powered by several electrical boxes that are each about half as big as a parking space. There is some serious juice being pushed through those -- and the Chargepoint chargers are only serving 30-40 amps, which is about the same as a home charger and nowhere near what a Telsa Supercharger delivers. This kind of stuff is not trivial, or cheap. Tesla spent a lot of money to get their network to where it is.
