Seriously… how little do some people value their own time if they’re willing to sit at a charger an extra 40+ minutes to eke out to 100%?! I can understand it in some situations when you’re going a particularly long distance to the next chargers or your route takes you far away from chargers, but if you’re continuing on a main highway with other stops? Come on, man!
I guess we need to start hoping for a lot more charging pedestals at every site. 4 clearly isn’t really enough for peak times on major routes. Maybe shared capacity with a minimum is the way to go to keep total charging capacity and electrical service costs down a little while balancing out for fools. It’s not like that ID4 at 90% is drawing much at that point. Maybe 350kW shared by 2 so that they get a minimum of 175kw?I know some networks do 150 or 160 shared across 2 stands. That’s not good enough, but 2 pedestals that total 350 are better than 1 at 350 for many situations.
