Comment on BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace

You still have to look at the millions of people with no garages, that park on streets and apartment parking lots, and who won’t have means to charge outside of going and charging at fast charge stations away from where they live. These will all take massive amounts of high current power at peak times, not overnight. The people in their single family houses with their double car garages won’t be an issue for overnight charging. It will be an issue for all the others. Imagine places like Kansas city or Chicago or LA.

Fast chargers aren’t the only option

Tesla already has fast chargers with megapack, and with solar. There are fast chargers that don’t impact the grid much

we definitely need to build out destination chargers. Charging at work is no different from at home, except for when. And build out of solar can make peak energy available just when needed

there are proposed answers such as streetlight chargers

Obviously we don’t have an answer yet, haven’t built out the infrastructure, but we do have options
