Doesn’t surprise me. Visiting California right now, it feels like Norway around 2015. You see a few fast chargers here and there all over the place. But far from the amount of gas station pumps of course. The transition in Norway from 2015 to 2023 was staggering. I would say 2020-2024 is when we’ve started seeing gas station replace half or more of their pumps with fast chargers. Leaving as little as two pumps for gas. Now keep in mind that there’s been huge improvements in fast charging technologies. The US has it way easier. Fast chargers charges faster, are more efficient, easier to install and cheaper. Power electronics is cheaper. Using batteries as buffers for fast chargers was unheard of in 2015. Now it’s completely viable, and drastically reduces the demand for a powerful grid connection. In terms of standardisation I think the US is a bit ahead of where Norway was in 2015. Most car makers seem to be transitioning to NACS by 2025? NACS is also simpler and probably cheaper than CCS Type 2? You don’t get 3 phase fast AC charging at home. But that’s overkill for most people. The US might be a bit behind on good solutions for street side charging poles. But there are some companies with good solutions. There’s reason to be optimistic. Just gotta get everyone used to the bring-your-own-cable solution (but what cable? has that been standardised?)
