Number 1 is still the major issue, electric cars make sense for those who own a house or has access to an underground car park with charging.
If you don't get a Tesla then the infrastructure is still not great. And roaming negotiations to let other electric cars use Teslas charging is still not a thing.
For a successful rollout every charging facility has to be available, period.
Adding electric charging to gas stations will not help enough.
The current selection of electric cars is much better today, though most new cars seem to be in the high end of the price range.
It will be interesting to see the terms and pricing for this.
Charging speed is still not great, the new Skoda Enyaq iV can charge to 80% capacity in 34 minutes. That translates to 12,6 km/minute for the first 80%.
A 10 year old diesel car can add about 200 km/minute when refueling.
The range for the Enyaq is from 300-600 km, while the diesel car is about 850 km.
A new Skoda Octavia has a range of about 1100 km, so nearly double the range of the Enyaq on a summer day.
So both charging speed and range has a long way to go for EVs.
I wonder if charging at work is the alternative for people without parking. Employers would need an incentive of course but it would probably be easier to roll out than putting them in the street. Most of us are at work for eight hours a day which is more than enough to cope with the longest commutes.
