You can create a charging station with solar panels and a battery.
Gas stations don't fill up themselves out of thin air — a massive infrastructure has been built (and wars fought for) for extraction, refining, and supplying the fuel.
- xenospn 2y agoI’m pretty sure you would need a huge, extremely expensive battery and it could only charge one or two cars a day, and take multiple days to recharge.
- pornel 2y agoYou're saying as if it was hypothetical. This is already being done. UK's gridserve has solar farms producing 62GWh/year, that's over 2000 full recharges per day. Their "Electric Forecourts" have 6MWh of battery storage (~100 cars). https://www.gridserve.com/electric-vehicle-charging/electric-forecourt/ https://www.gridserve.com/electric-vehicle-charging/electric... Battery storage is common in charging stations, because it allows peak charging speeds higher than the grid connection, plus use of renewable and off-peak electricity.
