or those companies could just make tesla like cars tho they dont seem to really want to prob cause it represents such a small % of the industry, but on the other hand theres not a car company on earth that hasnt given lip service to electric being the future, mercedes even said theyre going to stop doing r&d on gas engines which is pretty wild

I’m building a DC fast charging network at the moment and this isn’t true. It’s like going to the petrol station except you plug it in for 20 minutes and go and have a coffee or buy some groceries or whatever you want to do while it charges.

I go to a gas station once a week at most for 5 minutes, I don’t think it’s feasible for people to put in 20 minutes several times a week in terms of adopting electric.
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Friday, 1 May 2020 22:33 (four years ago) link
If you can’t charge in the place where you park every night I don’t think most people would buy an electric.

we have a lot of charging stations here but that wasn't the case 5 years ago.
― genital giant (Neanderthal), Friday, 1 May 2020 22:34 (four years ago) link
People are notorious for letting their car get down to fumes because that five minutes at a gas station, which can be found everywhere, is a hassle.

The point is with DC fast charging is it won’t necessarily be at petrol stations it will be at stores and restaurants and you’ll get enough charge for the week in minutes not hours whilst you do what you do.
The first generation of AC was pretty useless when installed at grocery stores because you can’t get a meaningful charge in the time it takes to do your shop. With DC you’ll be full by the time you come out. And full will be several hundred kilometres.
Interestingly we have some data from a municipal DC fast charge network in California and by far the most used charger is the one in the food coop parking lot and the session data looks a lot like people dropping in for a weekly shop and a weekly charge (along with some ride-share drivers dropping in daily).
It’s obviously super convenient if you can charge at home but in large parts of the world it’s not necessary.
