The embarrassing part is the “2.8 KWh” figure. For comparison, since the number doesn’t seem to resonate with you, that generous estimate of the energy involved is comparable to about 0.1 gallons of gas, maybe a little lower. It’s an expensive and highly ineffective way to charge cars a very small amount, and is fundamentally a poor use of society’s limited resources.
