Say 800 went to Tesla, 600 to BMW Mini owners and half the balance went to private owners and corporate fleets, Where are the 200+ public charge stations? They should have them on a map on their website.

By the way - this wasn't posted previously (I think), but at the EVS24 conference in Norway they had the 3 phase Elektrobay with the new European standard Mennekes plug:



With 63A @ 400V on tap, this could be quite useful.

Expectations and range anxiety have a lot to do with our EV future. ... Helsel told an amusing anecdote about the experience of Tokyo Electric Power Company, which uses fast-charging for its EV utility vehicles. Drivers complained they couldn’t cover their entire route with just one charging station, so some areas were not getting serviced. The company added a second station, and suddenly the whole area was being covered—but the second station was rarely accessed. Knowing it was there was, it appears, enough.

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. Drive completely carbon free with a solar system plus EV charging station.

Quote:
SolarCity has installed over 2,500 EV charging stations. Our Electric Vehicle Service team members are experts in optimizing charging stations based on your plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) model. We understand UL and SAE standards which will enable forward compatibility for many years to come.
I wonder how many are Tesla, Avcon, etc...

Err... there is a quotation on the page linked by vfx. This was a bit of paraphrasing the email I had sent them, and not an exact quote.

The sentiment was correct in that I did think they did a fantastic job.

However, I already have solar on my house - so I doubt I would ever use them for a new solar install to offset the use of my car - I already have that. What I might use them for in the future is to expand my existing installation -- not to create one from nothing as the quote implies.

Vancouver city council has unanimously approved new regulations for electric vehicle charging stations.
It's an old story so apologies if it's been covered.
