$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('asg70', 'T')ragedy of the commons write large. Superchargers are put in place to cover average usage, not spikes when every EV user in the area jumps in their cars and road trips at the exact same time. EV owners should not expect to be able to do those sorts of trips. It's not the end of the world and is a poor thing to seize on for FUD. Ain't gonna kill suburbia, folks.

It just happened again. On "black friday" dozens of Teslas in California wound up waiting in a line more than a half mile long, inching forward for hours until they could at last creep up to to chargers and get recharged.

THis is bad PR for Tesla. They've got a wonderful product, but there's a problem if people can't actually use their EVs to travel around town and even go on intercity trips the same way people do in their ICE vehicles.

I'm surprised every gas station in the country isn't adding superchargers right now. There clearly is a need for them. Do the gas stations make a profit when EVs come in to recharge....or is it free? Maybe the price of a recharge should be set higher, to incentivize gas stations to add more chargers?


Why are we waiting in this long line? Rumor has it if we wait in this line for hours we can get our Teslas recharged.....

CHEERS!

[rockdoc123]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he tipping point has GOT to be economics, at the end of the day. Gas stations have great locations overall, and are well dispersed, so the convenience potential for BEV drivers seems blindingly obvious.

Rockdoc::
Yes we need to bring math to the table, it will show up invited or not.
In a fully developed EV market most owners will have charging setups at wherever they park their car in their off hours. That is equivalent to having a gas pump in most private garages and where say eighty to ninety percent of charging will take place. Then the demand for chargers at what are now fuel stations will be just ten to twenty percent of what the number of cars they are servicing today.
I expect there will be considerable reluctance by gas stations to add charging stations as it switches profits away from their parent oil companies to the electric utilities providing the power. They certainly will not quick charge EVs for free or at a loss to them bottom line.
I also would not faint from shock if Exxon and the other fossil fuel corporations started buying up shares in electric utilities including grid distribution systems and solar and wind farms.
