Fast chargers aren’t the only option

  • Tesla already has fast chargers with megapack, and with solar. There are fast chargers that don’t impact the grid much
  • we definitely need to build out destination chargers. Charging at work is no different from at home, except for when. And build out of solar can make peak energy available just when needed
  • there are proposed answers such as streetlight chargers

Obviously we don’t have an answer yet, haven’t built out the infrastructure, but we do have options

Imagine places like Kansas city or Chicago or LA.

I’m imagining park and ride stations with fairly slow charging. People in the suburbs can leave their car on a slow charger all day and take a train into the city.

  • My home charger is 50a which is too fast for this.
  • My work has 30a chargers and most people take turns for half a day
  • so we’re talking 15-20a, or again, something smart enough to spread the load
