I was mostly taking the piss with the comment about "slow EU chargers", but one public L3 charge station can replace 10+ L2 stations, and all 20k+ Tesla superchargers are L3. I can't find a reference for the share of L2 vs L3 in Europe.
But I'll still argue once you have "enough" chargers, it doesn't matter if you have more, and I think there are enough Tesla superchargers as evidenced by them being the number one EV in America.
No network of chargers is going to make my slow-charging, 70-mile-range 2013 Leaf convenient, compared to a 270-mile Tesla which can charge 5-10x as quick.
- Symbiote 3y agoThis report says 70000 fast chargers in Europe. It's not surprising. There are more EVs in Europe, and the population density is higher. China is ahead of both. https://www.iea.org/reports/global-ev-outlook-2023/trends-in-charging-infrastructure https://www.iea.org/reports/global-ev-outlook-2023/trends-in...
