Where is this? I have only used charging stations in dense urban areas and they lack generators, or bushes. But the amount of pad-mounted equipment you need to interface a charging station with the grid is surprisingly large. I think the tons of copper etc should be charged to the embodied carbon of the cars.
Mount Laurel, NJ. for one. I also do a lot of driving in New England. New England's power infrastructure is pretty dated. The town I live one could dial just the last 4 digits of a phone number and get connected due to everyone being on a single telephone exchange until sometime in the 1980's(not electrical but exemplifies rural infrastructure.
