    Now imagine if we had these recharging stations with multiple bays, all needing 1.2MW.

    Now imagine the 120-pump Buccee’s gas station with them. And like 10 nuclear power plants with super capacitor banks.

      Buccee’s does already have a pretty prodigious charging array at each location.

      But for real, everyone should have charging at their own home. It’s way cheaper and more convenient. Other chargers are effectively for road trips only.

        I live in 150 year old apartment that can’t even handle an electric stove, and only has street parking. Where is a charger supposed to go for people in dense areas? EV’s are not a one and done replacement for ICE vehicles. The truth is we need less cars and more public transport

          Well that’s also true. More public transit fixes even more problems than EVs. But let’s not forget that street parking is friendly to electric charging stations - they can be tiny! That’s a city infrastructure issue more than a space issue.

          The sincere answer is public chargers on the street. Similar to parking meters. They don’t have to be fast chargers, 240v or even 120v would do the trick.
