Primary EV charging infrastructure is at home and it is already there. Any grid updates needed can be easily accommodated faster than EVs can be built.epirali said:Actually I don't think so. The problem of infrastructure isn't just money/cost, but scale. Again think of every gas station you see today. Now imagine if you needed something like 10x that capacity if all cars were electric (time to charge is roughly 10x for similar range). That is the fundamental problem. There is NO WAY any single company (or even groups of companies) can put the money/resources into that. You are taking for granted that there was a very large amount of profit incentive in traditional fuels that have paid for the infrastructure you see today.
I imagine the separate fueling station business will just fade away. Public charging will take place at existing parking lots or along highways.
People will primarily charge at home as the cost will be half for the foreseeable future.
JMHO.
