[–] nextweek2 10y ago ↗ It's a good problem to have. Plus there is a tipping point when car park owners can earn extra income from taking a slice of the profit.At that point they'll want fast chargers since that will maximise ROI.What I do wonder about is how on-street parking will be served. The UK has a lot of homes where people don't have driveways for overnight charging. [–] algirau 10y ago ↗ It solves the chicken-egg problem by having a critical mass of EVs to justify a critical mass of chargers.On street parking can be done rectified (in theory) via inductive/wireless charging fed from a solar energy source. [–] manicdee 10y ago ↗ The UK also has lots of on-street chargers. If your car has decent range you only need to charge every other day or so.As smart parking meters eventually become slow chargers too, we will see fewer problems with chargers becoming ICEd or hogged by charged EVs.
