This is why we need slow chargers everywhere. Even a basic 120V outlet can provide 1.5kW of vehicle charging. Over the course of the night, this is 18kWh, which is enough for about 80 miles of charge for a Tesla Model 3. This is more than enough for the vast majority of people's daily usage. If apartment dwellers that park on the street had access to these slow chargers, for example, using power from street light circuits, they could handle 90% of their charging needs, using fast chargers for days where they drove an unusually long ways. In Europe, or other 240V places, the slow charger is about twice as fast, so the situations where a fast charger is needed are even less. |
