I'm not sure how cleanly that is going to scale when each and every charger is going to cost a couple grand to install. Think of all the street parking spots there are, that is an enormous amount of money. In LA county it is estimated there are 3.6 million on street and 15 million off street parking spots as of 2010 (1). Lets assume its 2k for one of these chargers assuming no further upgrades to grid infrastructure that it would just work on existing lines. Unless I fudged the numbers that's $7.2 billion dollars just for the street parking. That would buy a whole lot of bike and bus lanes that cities claim they don't have the funding currently to roll out. Probably make a good dent in rail projects as well. https://la.streetsblog.org/2015/12/01/18-6-million-spaces-an... |
