What's it gonna take to get Tesla to start Solar Canopy'ing their frickin' Supercharger, you know, the ones Elon claimed would all have WiFi when new cars stopped coming with free cellular forever...
ESPECIALLY in the HOT parts of the world. That new 58 stall charger in Kettleman City is just bleak sun (and no toilet, although pavement is now promised for next year). This across the main drag from the old Café and Solar shading site. Such a step down. Also, no feral cats.
But a battery and no solar seems dum! I first saw this at that San Jose site that was my first battery augmented site. But with all the supply of LifePO they are gobbling up Shirley they can put batteries at each site to help smooth out peak utility draws, and in sunny parts it would be nice to get shade during the charging process, and this last week has pointed out how nice it is to be under a solar shade when it's raining too. If they ever make a site that gets almost no traffic it would be nice if it was only powered by solar and batteries (Like Camp Roberts here in California), or solar and batteries and a few 120v circuits in the hinterlands.
