It started out with an interesting article from Energy Central. It seemed to point towards a major EV Charger Project in the closest large city (Oakland, CA) to my hometown, Livermore. However, as I read this article, it described a much broader vision, and a consortium consisting of several major energy. real estate and mobility companies. It also promised to solve a major problem associated with EV Ownership. What if a potential owner cannot host an EV charger at his/her residence?
The solution is obvious: more public fast-chargers. A Level 3 DC fast charger can fully replenish your EV in twenty to thirty minutes. Although this is more time than it takes to fill up an IC-powered car at a gas station, it’s in the ballpark.
