More drivers have switched to fully electric cars because of lower energy costs than a desire to protect the climate, and are particularly keen to power EVs with household solar.
I doubt that fast charging will ever be a thing in residential settings, regardless of what kind of grid upgrades they do. That kind of DC voltage will kill too many diy type homeowners.
Yeah. It’s not like the majority of North American towns are going to have the budget for this, and the higher levels of government don’t give two shits, so it would be falling on the homeowners to get it installed.
Curb charging is really geared towards dense urban areas, where people don’t have a garage or dedicated parking space, or don’t own their homes and therefore can’t make such changes.
At any rate, a homeowner can’t simply install something in the curb, and even if they did, it’s the curb, anyone can park there.
