I get pissed when I have to stop for gas on a long trip and that takes 5 minutes. They are insane to think stopping for 20 minutes ever 4 hours is cool.
One of then engineers I work with has an electric car.
He forgot to top off the charge a few months ago and had to have his vehicle towed to a charging station. Oh, and he was several hours late for work.
And they never quite get around to explaining how far you can drive if you turn on the heater or air conditioner. These are big power draws when a battery is your only source.
For the rest of my lifetime electric cars are only going to be suitable as short range toys.
not to mention how long the lines will be when each person has to stop for 20 minutes.
A gas station can fill 10-20 cars per hour per pump.
This station would be able to do 2 per hour per pump.
To service a city, you would need 10 times the charging stations. Seems legit. A charging station could be anywhere... like in your parking space at the grocery for example. so it might be feasible.
