Let's check the math! 25000 people. Let's say half have a car, that's 12500 cars. (An upper bound for sure). 12500 cars. Let's say 100% of them needs charging

Let's check the math!
25000 people. Let's say half have a car, that's 12500 cars. (An upper bound for sure).
12500 cars. Let's say 100% of them needs charging in their parking lots. (Clearly an upper bound too!)
1200 charging stations. 3 today. Let's say zero today.
2023-2035 = 12 years.
That'll mean 1200/200 = 100 chargers installed PER YEAR.
If you think your suburb can't install 100 chargers PER YEAR you should flee the country, because that's quite bad. A competent electrician can install 2 to 4 of these chargers for standalone housing PER DAY. I know because my company is in this business! (https://dryft.se https://dryft.se)

Surely you know then that the hard part is not wiring up a connector and attaching it to the wall, assuming there was enough capacity in the existing wiring. No doubt 2-4 of those can be done in a day. When you have to tear down the sidwalks and underground utilities to increase capacity, it takes a bit longer. Tesla built one of their charging stations not too far from here, it has maybe 6 to 8 charging spots. Putting up the posts with the cables took just a few days. But the whole project took about six months with the sidewalks and parking lot torn up!
- boxed 4y agoSure.. but.. 12 YEARS. Of a project that is embarrassingly parallel? Definitely doable.
