At this moment, I can drive into a gas station and fill up my car in about five minutes leaving that pump ready for the next driver. Many of your larger stations can accommodate 18 cars or more at one time. The gas station could process 864 cars in the same time that 18 charging stations process 18 EV cars and that’s at the best case scenario of having an EV car charged in only 4 hours.You could charge your car at home but consider the cost of the charger at about $1,000 R...
