As I said: "per week". That was based on 35K miles p.a. and was typically 2x per week, and 16 supercharges per year. Any average-ratio of the two needs to take into account the battery size (smaller = more road-trip charges) and the number of out-of-range journeys that the car makes - for a "city car" that might be zero, for a travelling-salesman quite possible "Lots".
I seriously doubt that you can actually achieve that average in practice, you also have turning-off-the-highway and in some cases going-out-of-way to get there (as you do with Supercharger, but not with home charging, and not with e.g. Supermarket charging which are plug-in and walk-away). I agree that pay-at-pump is faster, but I don't often see people actually using that ... maybe they need some ciggies ...
Plus a bit more if the forecourt is not right-next-to-the-route; some people are probably going out of their way to buy cheaper, and for me the Esso garage on my direct route to anywhere closed and I had to take a short detour for my regular local Diesel fillup. Thankfully I haven't had to bother with that, nor the smelly forecourt, for half a dozen years
I'm the perennial optimist but ...
My starting point for this is that we have dug up the roads for Water, Sewage, Phone, Cable, Fibre ... against that those services would have been easy to sell to everyone-in-the-street, whereas car charging might take someone 10-20 years before their ICE is swapped for an EV, so not everyone is a buyer on day one.
Of the street parkers some percentage will be "city cars", and maybe they would choose to charge at e.g. supermarket once a week instead of on the street. Some others will be able to charge at work (and likely that day-time charging will become the cheapest option, at least during summer "When sun shines and wind blows")
I wonder how many people (who park in the road) will use street-charging? Certainly those commuting to work (unless they can charge at work), and travelling-business-folk ... but for city-car folk they may charge at Supermarket.
Anyway Elon tells me that Tesla self-driving ride-hail cars will be along shortly so no need for a car, road parking, or self-charging ... I'll get my coat !!
I think time-of-use rates will solve that. My Tesla starts charging at Off Peak - bang on. It might only going to be adding a couple of percent ('coz parasitic use has fallen below the threshold), but its going to do it right at the start of Off Peak. Plenty of opportunity for software to "negotiate" a suitable time, based on range-needed and so on. Could also charge at lower AMPs if the rest of the housing estate has a lot of charging to do that night ...
... but, yeah, quite a lot of "collaboration" required by the software to achieve that.
I wonder how Norway has got on? They have unlimited hydro, but their infrastructure must have been like ours and based on each house using a kettle at different times?
I'm a heavy overnight consumer in the Winter (fill car and PowerWall), but in Summer I get 1,000 miles a month into the cars off the roof. Clearly I'm an outlier - more PV than most, and also I work from home and car is parked at home during the day and available for charging.
We have EV charging at work (for about 1/3rd of the car park) and are talking of covering the roof in PV (could/should have done it sooner, delayed because we decided that if doing PV we should also use the opportunity (scaffolding etc.) to take the whole roof off and improve the insulation ... but that cost was prohibitive. We are now at the point of "Just do the PV".
France has mandated all public car parks to be covered with PV (the bigger car parks have only around 2 years to comply ...)
Car Parks would be my preference to deal with non-road-trip top-ups. Motorway service stations have plenty of parking. Existing Forecourts definitely not, but in combination with Supermarkets I think we'd be OK in towns? Supermarkets are incentivised as it will bring them footfall. Waitrose near me has recently been significant "revamped" for the entrance / exit (which was ridiculously tight), and having been pleased they did that it then became apparently that had included infrastructure for Shell Re-charge chargers, of which they have a dozen or so (a few of which are 350kW ... that's going to be a very short shop!)
I'm a software engineer. I don't understand why the 3rd party have such lousy maintenance. The statistics for "
No car has charged at THIS stall for XX hours" should be enough to trigger an alert that it might be bust, rather than expecting a user to report it. Add to that if a car plugs in and then fails to charge which is be an even more useful data point in conjunction with "
No car charged in XX hours"
Same with a central heating thermostat. It comes on and "demands heat" ... what if the temperature carries on falling? What does it do? It just carries on "demanding heat". Useless. What should it do? Send me an email saying "Your boiler isn't working" ... I don't know if even a fancy Nest thermostat does that?
There is a cost to not doing this - the cost of cleaning up the environment of the extra emissions from any delay. Never known Government to spend money now to avoid having to spend more money later ... but they could.
Norway has got there in about that time. When they started there were only two choices: a Model-S at £100K+ or a Nissan Leaf ...
... at least we are starting with a decent range of choices. I'm seeing large numbers of EV green-flash number-plates - more than I think I would have expected; way more of my mates are in the real-soon-now camp, whereas before they were envious on the one hand but resistant on the other. More the fool them, I've had loads of benefit from being an early-adopter - not least the referral swag from Tesla
I've used Superchargers (according to TeslaFi) 134 times. I've queued once, and that was for 5 minutes. That of course disguises the problem of increasing EVs if the rollout of Chargers doesn't keep pace ... and also the pinch-point of holiday traffic (which is probably always going to exceed capacity, and given charging times of 20 minutes is far worse in EV than ICE)
