Here is a crazy idea: maybe cars need easily removable, standardized, commoditized batteries. At a charging station, you don't charge, you swap to a charged battery, leaving the discharged one there. The silly status quo has to be abolished, that the battery is an expensive part that is semi-permanently attached to a particular car, until that battery becomes worn out, and is then replaced at great expense and difficulty. Charging stations should charge batteries. Not only can they do that 24/7, whether or not there are any customers present, but a given charging lot can accomodate a lot more simultaneous batteries than parked cars. If too many spent batteries accumulate, they can be taken away for charging in some charging warehouse.
