Indeed. In my city I see plenty of Teslas parked on street parking with no charging connected. People just use the charging at grocery stores, downtown parking, their apartment building and seem to manage fine.
Charging is slower than gas but the charging locations also seem to be more abundant which maybe balances out the time spent.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoYou don't even need fast charging at some locations. 120V 20A outlets are sufficient at say, long term airport parking, as you'll charge to full over days before returning to your vehicle (and can get ~40-50 miles of range per 24 hours charging). Match charge rate infra to dwell time. Longer dwell = less infra needed as you can slow charge. Not every charging location needs to be able to draw MWs of current on demand.
- worik 3y agoDo countries with 240v electricity charge faster? The Nissan Leaf owners get longer range than that here I think. Here has 240v
- toomuchtodo 3y ago240v does charge faster than 120v and is also more efficient.
