A DC fast charger costs something like $50,000. Fast charging is probably always going to be substantially more expensive than slower charging.
We need more slow charging installed in parking garages and shopping centres.

Slow charging needs to be basically ubiquitous. Even on street parking should provide for it in busier areas. Particularly where on street parking is your only parking at home.

Very cold areas already have power outlets all over car parks, because the petrol cars need to plug in their electric engine block heaters otherwise they won’t start.
Nothing stopping us from doing the same.

Just saw the most interesting bodgy setup in Brunswick, with the charging cable ran through the stormwater drain leading to the house.

Yeah fairly common to see in the inner west now as well. People don’t have a tonne of choice but it’s not particularly safe, either electrically or for pedestrians who may not necessarily be able to navigate over the top of it all.
