It’s also a little limited. The supercharger cables are too short to reach many cars and you have to park weirdly and block other stalls. There’s also no OEM trip planner to make use of them to ensure batteries are preconditioned , you dist

More populated cities and shorter distances make EV’s a lot easier. The only only only way they’ll take hold in the US is more networks as reliable as Tesla, integrated navigation in the cars, and fewer stupid charging apps. Tesla is the on

I don't think I'd want to have a system using exit polls... they've been wrong before. Once you're using polls why have elections at all? Anyway, my point is states opposed to the NPVIC already have at least one good id

That's essentially what they already do. The power feed is shared between neighboring chargers which is why you should leave a space between if there's empty stalls. e.g. a 250kW charger becomes 125 when two cars are parked next
