Jimv1,
...Where they park them. Provision for charging should now be a consideration in town planning...
These cars are going to be introduced into the world we live in, not some future world there the architecture etc is planned around them.
as we don't all live in houses with private driveways, how do you propose the charging would be done ?
There is also the problem of supply.
At the moment the supply to many domestic properties id limited to 60 Amp.That would mean that, at the very most your house could draw down 60*240 = 14.4 KWatt.
That is for everything.
A street full of electric cars would mean that the supply, probably including a lot of the cables and the substations, would have to be upgraded. Not a cheap operation.
And high rise residents ?
Your thoughts.
