Just yesterday I recorded an incredible conversation with the archivist from Ford, formerly of Coca-Cola, about the history of fueling infrastructure in this country and let me just say... when you listen to that conversation, you'll understand why we haven't cracked the code on EV charging yet.
There are two camps here:
One understands what basic-ass AC charging can do and that overnight charging takes care of all local needs full stop. That's me, wishing we focused on this.
The other imagines EVs getting used like ICE vehicles, and pulls the trigger assuming this makes sense.
“Fit charging to your life, not life to your charging” is our motto at work. The more people learn that, the faster EV adoption will go.
Home charging is the easy win, plentiful L1/L2 public chargers will take things even further (see Northern Europe).
