Abstract

To those who don't yet own an EV, a robust infrastructure may seem unimportant. Studies, after all, show that in developed markets, as much as 90 percent of all charging takes place in the home. It turns out, however, that the remaining percentage of charging is critically important. Drivers of delivery trucks and taxis, residents of apartment buildings, students on their way to college, families on vacation, and countless others have learned that driving an EV can be a struggle where public charging is scarce or unreliable. A 2022 survey by Forbes, for example, indicated that 62 percent of EV owners were so anxious about EV range that they had at times curtailed their travel plans.

我们对电动汽车充电的做法是错误的：电动汽车先驱说，20世纪90年代的充电器设计将更便宜、更简单——而且同样安全

对于那些尚未拥有电动汽车的人来说，强大的基础设施似乎并不重要。毕竟，研究表明，在发达市场，高达90%的充电是在家里进行的。然而，事实证明，剩余的充电比例至关重要。送货卡车和出租车的司机、公寓楼的居民、上学的学生、度假的家庭，以及无数其他人都认识到，在公共充电稀缺或不可靠的地方，驾驶电动汽车可能是一件困难的事情。例如，《福布斯》（Forbes）在2022年进行的一项调查显示，62%的电动汽车车主对电动汽车的续航里程感到非常焦虑，以至于他们有时会缩减出行计划。
