How much do they charge?Our SAM’s Club has a row of charging stations and they are a “mile” from the store. That seems like the logical place to put them.
I have no clue. I just see them sticking up with no cars around. Couple of small towns around here now have some down town. Again in the business district they might have 100 parking places and spent the money on two charging hookups. When and if it takes off I would think they would add a bunch more. Right now it is more of a feel good thing IMO.How much do they charge?
It is not at all about a culture war for me. I’m open to any and all innovations that make life better and work well. The process of doing any task has to follow some sort of systematic plan. You don’t install the plumbing and electrical in a home before you do the framing and it is the same for developing a transportation infrastructure. When cars first came into being roads were dirt because that’s what horses were used to walking on. There will have to be similar evolution to EV only a higher tech evolution. Trillions and trillions of dollars went into the infrastructure of fossil fuels getting us to where we are today. In most cases adaptation takes a long time but will slowly move in the direction of the better way of doing something. It is painless when the need is there the rest follows. I think many feel the need is being manufactured rather than being allowed to actually present itself. That’s what causes a culture war and the end result slows progress rather than advances it.looks like this is more about the culture wars than cars. iF right then gas if left then eclectic.
All home chargers that I know of use the onboard inverter to convert the AC to DC. With a 120VAC input charging takes quite awhile. I put in a 240V 50A circuit as part of my basement project. Friends that have EVs say they can top up in a few hours with that. Super chargers bypass the onboard inverter and give the car straight DC current and can charge them to 80% in about 20 minutes. Taking them from 80 - 100% slows considerably. They really don't recommend going to 100% on a regular basis.At home charging is via 120V or 240V, AC with several adapters available.
Hyundai is providing a 10 year warranty on their drive train including the battery pack on their Ioniq line of EVs. The motor vehicle manufacturers are going whole hog on EVs because they know they don't have a choice. The choice will only get better year over year on EVs. The prices will become more in line with ICE vehicles as capacity builds. Ford is discontinuing the Edge, my current car, and converting the only assembly plant that makes them for the global market to making EVs. Possibly the new Fusion as an EV, but that's just speculation. I do know from what I've read the 2023 model year will be the last for that model.I think that it will e at least another 5+ years before this will all get settled out, just about the time when the batteries will need replacing.

I don't know, but this picture was doctored for sure:I’ve ask this a couple times on other sites, and never got an answer, maybe someone here knows... What voltage do these Charging Station deliver? 24V DC?... 48 V DC.... 110V AC?
You see these photos (Doctored?) of EV’s using a gasoline powered generator with an extension cord plugged into the car... is it really that simple?... NOT TRYING TO BE FUNNY, I honestly would like to know...
My comments have nothing to do with "culture". It is all about having the freedom to make my own informed decisions.looks like this is more about the culture wars than cars. iF right then gas if left then eclectic.
