It will be interesting to know if the cables for these things can handle the load. On an individual level probable, but on larger scale?

If we change all street lighting to the LEDs, it will save about 200-250 W per pole. That's peanuts for the thirsty EVs.

Why not fast charge at the existing petrol stations? I know! Convenience.

Putting fast chargers at the gas stations going across empty highways is huge for ev travel

On a hot day sitting in a parking lot, my Model 3 loses about 10% of its charge just cooling the battery. I am lucky to have the ability to charge at home so I don't have to worry about it, but if I was living in an apartment, I'd have constant anxiety about it discharging and not being ready when I need it. It's doable, but having to plan out an extra 20-30 minutes plus travel time to hit a charger, that's a fairly significant change to routine.

That said, yes, more EV charging at gas stations please. It's critical for road trips.

It will be interesting to know if the cables for these things will be stolen for their copper or other metals on a regular basis.
