Warning lights: The wait times for electric vehicles is growing, but another queue is beckoning — via financialpost Renewables ElectricVehicles
As efficient as that sounds, it also presupposes a Utopian we’re-all-in-this-together vibe of which there’s scant evidence these days. Such a V2G system would require that we all acquiesce to having our batteries depleted when, say, Ontario or BC Hydro gets itself in a jam. That is something even the most ardent environmentalists are having trouble coming to terms with.
EV sales will actually start to decrease by 2030 if infrastructure is unable to keep up with projected demand We’ll need one public charging “port” for every 20 EVs on the road in the current initial phase of adoption, according to one Natural Resources Canada study. As charging speeds increase — and EVs become more popular — that ratio may drop to one station per 50 cars. If you’re quick with math, that means those 50,000 stations the government is boasting about building are good for about 2.5 million EVs at best, and just a million at worst.
In other words, the roadblock in our quest for reduced emissions may no longer be trying to convince consumers to buy battery-powered vehicles, but to keep driving them.
