EV Charging Doesn't Need to Be as Fast as Gas, Ionna CEO Says

If the charge is 6x longer than filling, then there need to be 6x the charging points. Stations will need to have a much larger footprint which isn’t always possible in urban environments. Then the occupants are stuck there for 30min so there better be adequate security otherwise it’ll be ground zero for crime.

Well that depends. In urban areas, it’s more of a problem. Side of the highway… Honestly, most fuel pumps sit empty 90% of the time it seems. Not that they don’t get business, it’s just that they’re nowhere near saturating their capacity usually.

You could convert half of Bucee’s pumps to charge stations and probably be good.
