      I’ve had an EV for three years now without my own charging station. It’s sometimes inconvenient but not a big issue.

      There was a guy who lived near me who plugged his Tesla in on the street. Unfortunately for him, the charging port is on the driver side which meant it dangled out into the road.

      One day I drove by and his charger had gotten knocked off by another car. I bet that was a pretty penny to fix.

      Those need to get electricity from somewhere and in many countries overall infrastructure is woefully unprepared for large scale deployment of this type, not to mention being unprepared for how renewable energy is produced and stored. It’s also quite vulnerable to vandalism.

        This is literally a huge pile of batteries that can charge at any rate at any time. It can soak the noon peak of solar, it can sip late night wind.
