I’m actually confused about Norway, you see a lot of electric cars parked down the street but no one has a garage in Norway (in the city, at least), and I haven’t seen many cars actually plugged in. Where does everyone charge?
- pornel 2y agoIn the UK supermarkets have fast chargers. You park, plug in, go shopping, return to a fully charged car (similarly at pubs, cafes, gyms, etc.) BEVs don't have to be plugged in like cellphones. In city driving one full charge can suffice for a whole week of commuting and errands.
- t0mas88 2y agoHow is the price for fast chargers in the UK? In the Netherlands it's crazy, something like 3-4x the price of home charging and close to 10x what you would "loose" on using your own solar power instead of selling it to the grid. For most hybrids using a fast charger is over 2x more expensive per mile than using petrol.
