carexpert.com.au/P. Maric has done a reasonably detailed (but on a small "sample" of geographic locations- even though it selected the "very Green" Los Angeles area) of car charging facilities for EV's in the USA.
It has found major problems for EV drivers wanting to recharge quickly, & easily (Ditto for its similar study driving an EV from Melb. to Syd, & Syd. to Bris).
It said 6.3. 24"Alittle while ago we did a Melbourne to Sydney road trip in both a petrol vehicle and an electric vehicle (EV), and then later we drove from Sydney to Brisbane in EV.
What we found along our travels were multiple faulty public EV chargers, while those that weren’t out of order would see their charging speeds considerably reduced when more than one car was using them at the same time...
The verdict
So, what did we learn with all of this? If this situation is in our future for Australia, we are well and truly screwed. The uptake of EVs in the US has been big, and they accounted for around 25 per cent of the market last year in California.
Australia is well below that, but with just as many public charging issues.
It appears in the US, just like Australia, that the Tesla charging network is less affected by charging during off-peak periods. That’s likely to change in the coming years as Tesla opens its charging network up to owners of other brands of vehicles"
Our US electric car road trip charging disaster and what it means for Australia (msn.com)
Very large & continuing volumes of petrol ICE vehicles & petrol fuel will be required & essential, IMO, for a very looong time- bodes well for STO.
