Infrastructure planning for charging stations has been in the works for years, but will it be ready for EV consumers in 2021?
As a recent resident (not permanent) of Los Angeles, I was always for looking public charging for my Model S 2013 and its 200 mile battery pack via PlugShare. Luckily, I had workplace charging — Level 2 — as a day-to-day solution for my Model S that allowed me to add 15 to 30 miles every other day or when it was needed. However, Shell’s recent acquisition of a charging network drives home the point that the next wave of EV buyers need more urban charging stations.
Shell has signed an agreement to buy ubitricity, a European provider of on-street charging stations, and the EV charging network is popular in the UK with more than 2,700 charge points. Plus, the network provider has more than 1,500 private charge points — commercial — for fleet customers.
