Don't Stop to Charge! Charge When You Stop!

Destination charging - charging your EV while you're already parked is just as important as rapid charging on a motorway. So why are thousands of electric ca...

This is gonna need a guy overseeing the cars being charged right? And so cutting on the profits/ROI of the whole thing, which is the only thing walmarts and stuff actually care about

I’m not familiar with the yank method of gasoline pumps where you charge yourself and then pay, ¿what stops you from just fleeing with a full tank?

    Hmm, so they are deffinitely gonna need a guy watching over the cars being charged. The cable cords are part of the cars right?

      There are tens of thousands of charger cables sitting out unprotected around the country as we speak. I roam the highways at night, charge my car in random lonely places, I’ve almost never encountered cut cables, maybe once or twice in ten years of driving EVs.

      I could see Walmart charge cables being a unique situation that attracts more criminals than usual but honestly they already have unsupervised Electricify America fast chargers at Walmarts all over the country and to my knowledge there’s no epidemic of cable theft keeping people from using the chargers

      No, the cords are part of the charging station, and I’ve never seen a charging station with an attendant.

      The car has a port that the station’s cable plugs into, and then most electric cars are able to lock the port so that the cable can’t be unplugged except by the driver.
