There is a misconception with charging stations and rightly so. With gas cars we drive until the gas tank is near empty before filling up. And the only option to fill up is a gas station. With EVs, you plug in every night at your residence thus your “tank” or range is full every morning. Unless your traveling beyond the range of your vehicle, you won’t ever need a charging station. Most EVs have a range of at least 300km with many having 4-500+km ranges. Moreover, charging stations will soon be fee based. And that fee will go up significantly when the charge is done to entice a driver to move the vehicle. And of course not all charging stations are equal. The Tesla super chargers in Hope for example will do a full charge in under 20 min. It’s those stations that would be of concern. This is one of the reasons why I like the Cybertruck. It’s tunnel cover is solar paneled for self charging.
