I have to say I'm beginning to share this cynicism. I get the sinking feeling that L2 is being placed willy nilly without solid scientific reasoning and the placement of at least some of what is being put in today is going to turn out to be a waste of precious public funds. IMHO, L3 is going to be the most viable public form of charging and much of the L2 at shops is going to mostly be a convenience/amenity perk. just seeing what is happening with the Blink maintenance already, I hate to think what it's going to be like maintaining millions of L2's vs thousands of L3's. Don't get me wrong, L2 can be very valuable, when placed where cars are parked for substantial periods of time (work/park and rides etc), not where people run in for a quick 15 or 20 minute errand.
edatoakrun said:My solution, at some point in the future (I hope), will be to use QC almost exclusively for my public charging, and leave the parking lot L2's to the less capable "electric" vehicles, that require them.
But I think the inherent absurdity, of putting mass numbers of L2's in parking lots, as a means of recharging BEVs after they use their, cheaper, cleaner, more convenient "private" station charge, will become apparent.
And probably, lead to most of the L2's now being installed, to be abandoned in the future.
It's a shame, that much of the billions of dollars spent on these L2s, will have been wasted.
