Which is great. No need to poo poo it.
However. Fast charge isn't really necessary unless you are on a long journey over 400 km and need to charge on route or you drive a lot. Eg taxi Uber etc.
Best thing ever industry can do for planet would be a 350km car that's cheap. That's really what most car users require. They drive to and from work and most drive less than 100km a day.
Just like a phone you charge over night and don't need oooodles of range.
Anyone going on long trips really should be using a train with another vehicle if required at the destination.
Truckers are a different story and should be separated from the day to days if average car users
Charging at work via solar would be even better. If there was some way for businesses to be incentivised for it.
I'd be curious just how much energy you'd get from this. I couldn't imagine it would be very much. If the solar panels are on the roof and the roof is at least translucent then the efficiency would go way down. Not that i think an opaque roof would do a whole lot better though.
I don't think he means on the car roof but rather over the parking lot/work building
Oh, my. Lol. I really misunderstood
