You guys are *still* ignoring the main problem.
It only works when there are only a few EVs.
The Sam's Club by me has 72 gas pumps. There is always a line waiting for a pump to free up. Looking at the google map satellite picture I count 14 cars waiting.
How different will it be when a charge takes 30-60 minutes (for only a partial charge) vs. a car fillup at 5 minutes?
It isn't ignoring. It is a different understanding. If you look through this thread, people who own EVs have very different charging experiences than described by those who don't own EVs.
I'll wager you can install and operate an EV charging station for 1/10 the cost of a gas pump. EV charging stations can be placed virtually anywhere you can park. Gas stations need dedicated locations. If there was enough demand, that Sam's Club could easily have 500 EV charging stations.
