Charging at home is trivial and requires no infrastructure. It’s an improvement on going to a petrol station.
Long haul trips are the tricky bit, but that’s surely not that hard to solve.
- pg938hkd 4y agoIt actually will require additional infrastructure or at least some changes to metering to encourage nightly charging instead of at like 5pm
- lostlogin 4y agoDon’t all EV cars have timers built in? My low end model does. It’s also only charging at the rate of a standard wall socket, so I’m not sure the grid cares that much.
- pg938hkd 4y agoMaybe we never set ours up. No reason to do that unless the utility changes rates based on time of use
- lostlogin 4y agoThis is very much a thing where I live in New Zealand. I’m sure that I could save money by tailoring usage better, but ‘cheaper overnight’ is about all I know about it.
