Can you imagine people dropping off their car to charge it and then going home to relax and forgetting about their car, and the next person who wants to charge can’t get in cause you got way laid and didn’t go back to move your car? It’ll have to be organized pretty well, with fines imposed for people who over-stay their charging. Anyhow, there are solutions out there. I’m sure they’ll have to be fine-tuned along the way, but we’ll get there. The thing is to think “how do we make this better”, rather than coming up with all the roadblocks to something happening.
I was wondering about that. There is a cost to charge one’s car at the charging station. Once the vehicle is fully charged, I would think that the vehicle would continue to be charged a fee to park at the charging station after it’s finished it’s charging cycle. An incentive to move the vehicle so others can have use of the station. I’m not familiar with the charging app, but I suspect one can monitor the state of charge remotely / wirelessly.
