Reply to comment by ConflagWex in New Nio 500 kW ultra-fast Power Charger 3.0 can charge a car from 10-80% in only 12 minutes by Surur

And if you know you're going home you don't even need a full charge

Fuck the people who live in an apartment I guess.

I love this argument because apartments don't have gas pumps and yet somehow the infrastructure functions. Someone should study it!

Infrastructure, you got that right chief. Call me when there's infrastructure.

I mean, the infrastructure certainly isn't completed and I'm not sure where you're located. But the US is planning to build 50k a year alongside grid improvements.

Here is a good summary if you're interested: https://usafacts.org/articles/how-many-electric-vehicle-charging-stations-are-there-in-the-us/

In my city you wouldn't need to own a home charging station at this point. There are several 350kw stations within 10 miles which provide 0-80% in 15-20 minutes. Lower power ones are at most major shopping centers and those take about an hour.
