Who is paying for it? Not only in terms of the chargers themselves but in terms of land usage. Installing EV chargers is a double-hit in that regard. Not only does a charger take up space that could've had a gas pump, that loss is multiplied by the fact the same land area can service far fewer vehicles than the same area used on gasoline pumps due to the much greater length of time each car occupies the space.
- tills13 3y agoYou don't install chargers in thru-ways (like a gas-pump) and you don't install gas-pumps on the fringes where you'd normally have parking (like an EV charger). I don't think the land-use argument really holds, here, since it would likely be installed where there's simply parking. And by increasing the density of chargers, you are spreading out the usage, so _per station_ the increase in cars idling in their lots I don't think would be a significant problem.
