This will be for AC charging, which is the biggest hurdle. Specifically as it relates to charging for apartments in cities (note: most other people will charge in their driveways/garages).

Instead of having posts on the sidewalk that people have to manage the sharing of (and that take up space and require maintenance), the parking spots themselves can be electrified. At these voltages, heat losses are negligible. They’ve already shown to be 90+% efficient.

This thread is about supercharger access... Assumed we were talking high speed. Maybe good sign that we are getting too far off topic....

Yea, I assumed that “charging on each parking spot that you drive on” wouldn’t have been in the context of 150kw-350kw (fast) charging…

Nonetheless, many people charge at fast chargers because they don’t have AC overnight charging access. Particularly apartment dwellers. We seem to be overindexing a bit on fast charging when truly 90% of charging should happen overnight at home.
