Subject: Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?
The Sam's Club by me has 72 gas pumps. There is always a line waiting for a pump to free up. Looking at the google map satellite picture I count 14 cars waiting. How different will it be when a charge takes 30-60 minutes (for only a partial charge) vs. a car fillup at 5 minutes?
But here's the deal. Most people who are doing city driving will do most of their charging at home - it's cheaper and more convenient. And other places they can charge: church, strip mall, school/work (we use all those options, but 95% of the time at home). The people using the charging stations will mostly be people on longer trips. And people will use apps to see wait times at various charging stations, so the load will be more evenly distributed. If wait times are long then of course more charging stations will open along that route. Am I missing something?
