I had a tire that needed air in my tire, so I went to the gas station with my EV and got some in there.
That’s great for now, but what happens in several years when the number of Gas stations declines? Gas stations have been great resources for air, bathrooms, and snacks on road trips. What is going to replace it?
Eventually, I’d imagine that they just buy every stall a cable, and there’s a smart charger that delivers charge to each stall in turn. Yes it’s extra copper expense, but that’s the only way that charging in a garage becomes convenient
Maybe one day, that’d be great! Especially if that applies to parking stalls at work as well.
We’ll still continue to have the problem of people who don’t even have access to a parking stall where they live, though. In some buildings that I’ve lived in, if you have roommates, one of you probably pays extra for parking privileges and the others have to figure something else out… Plus, not every unit even gets a stall to begin with.
So even if we get this “cable in every stall” ubiquity-- already a massive project-- there will still be lots of people who can’t “just charge at home.”
