2 thoughts on “2022 Innovation Issue: Growth of EVs has government, private companies scrambling to develop charging infrastructure

  1. ONE place in town gets you a sub 30 minute charge. Just one. Unless you drive a Tesla.

    The only non-Tesla public charger can get you 100 miles of charge in half an hour (you need at least 70 kW for this) is the Electrify America at the Walmart in Beech Grove which has 15 chargers that meet or exceed 150 kW.

    The other 6 Tesla Supercharger locations around town offer an average of 10 chargers each that exceed 70 kW – and the downtown and Fishers locations are just barely fast enough at 72 kW.

    Sure, there are a few of the slower 50 kW plugs around town, but nearly all of those are single-port stations, outdated, or broken. Not a reliable mix.

    Full electric BEV still heavily rely on overnight charging at home. Unless you can afford a Tesla.

  2. I asked my workplace what it would take to have even a slow L2 charger installed, and was told “that’s more of an issue with Personal Responsibility, isn’t it? Don’t buy a car you can’t keep fueled.”

    This backwards logic is why the ADA is required for handicapped spots, and why OSHA mandates basic safety requirements in parking lots.

    Our employers don’t care about the future, or about their employees needs.
