Why is it surprising? There are PLENTY of gaps everywhere. You may not realize how much it costs to install a DC FC and the ongoing costs from energy (in kWh) charges and demand (in kW) charges, besides maintenance (some (many? most?) DC FCs have air filters that need cleaning otherwise the unit will overheat and refuse to charge) and repairs.Patrtic said:I am surprised that a large part of Koreatown surroundings and LAX has no quick charge station. Another question: is there sign up sheet for these stations or first come first serve?
I started http://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3753 long ago about costs. Unfortunately, the RMI link is dead but https://web.archive.org/web/20140715052531/http://blog.rmi.org/blog_2014_04_29_pulling_back_the_veil_on_ev_charging_station_costs has a copy.
I've NEVER ever seen a "sign up sheet" for any public charging, L2 or DC FC.
