| > Where exactly to build the charging infrastructure for people parking like this. On the sidewalks. There are a number of chargers like that in the city I live that are more or less subscription based. > Cars charge whilst you do your weekly shop. Or at work, if they have space. That's one excellent solution. You can take the money that won't be spent with healthcare (because air pollution) and channel it as incentives to build out that infrastructure. > I also heard about one idea to have chargers at every street light, as they already have an input from the grid in them. That's another interesting idea, if the power is available. With the move to efficient lighting, the need for power has been reduced and I assume the cable gauges have reflected that. > Hopefully this is an issue that can be solved without having to re-wire huge portions of the urban areas. If the cars can recharge for hours, the need to rewire for higher currents is smaller. |
