I own a PHeV and usually charge at my work , GYM and home(very rarely) . My workplace has a free parking - free charger and there is a dude that treats it like his personal parking spot day and night and plugged in so nobody else can use it even if his car is fully charged . It had me thinking, what if there are enough EV cars in the market for this to become a problem (Not having the infrastructure).

Most cases , unless you have every parking spot equipped with chargers or rebuild the parking to suite for EV , its gonna be an absolute shitshow (say in 10 years).

What do you think?

    Charging at work is a nice perk but unnecessary. With home charging and DCFC, most charging needs are addressed easily.

    I was in a casino parking lot the other day thinking the same thing. They have free charging there for 6 vehicles. I was thinking, what if almost all these cars in the parking lot were ev’s. There would have to be a huge move to creating charging spots. A lot of demand for these spots. Let’s say in this casino parking lot, most spots would need chargers. Assuming people need a charge and most drove ev’s.

    What if the parking lot had a charger on every spot…hmmm

    Gonna become expensive. And a mess. Our current setup is not scaleable.

    Don’t worry adoption will slow down when parking garages limit EVs due to their weight.

    Many places give you a 30 minute grace period before they start charging you an additional fee for hogging the charger.
