Dear Friends,
#ClimateDiary 1/2
Auto maker joint ventures plans to install 30K #EV #charging stations in the #USA & #Canada over the next 7 years. This is said to almost double the number of current chargers. Total then is 66K. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/26/business/energy-environment/electric-vehicles-fast-chargers-automakers.html?unlocked_article_code=q_tl_nLq4kvfU4MCaVqWUYZfZS5VUzgfu8lZ5grmM17IlYZsi2HeXxStHC16nfxoPJyXMtMoWBmOnohgzjVvCn1OgjDAlt6RUpb6MFp9uMdAlSk5JnkrXu66mL6ssy2Ue13q80shTg4OPORjCczsPWGS3ln3FyLZSTHH2QuV7adAayJz0bQru9v_X4NDyaxa-i_tkZmE_Te1a9d0M6AEG1yXqwrXTKHS3rdR1bgxXxezvxTBZJJjEHuOicEUy1qtRDm5EKvn0FR-Rwdt8erknggIKw7CBlB9tKzKAouQ-edtL8ILaAeWZ9Hwh5cez3i9SI23SMgLXw6S2t8TP4sQm4fxf2hOe1gRts3XynV4kRaYY6NOPivEhj-Z6XFXfE63E_b7HNYHGLI&smid=url-share
Let's round-up to 100K by 2030.
#ClimateDiary 2/2
The number of gasoline stations in the USA alone (as of 2017 via https://www.statista.com/statistics/525107/number-of-gasoline-stations-in-the-united-states/) was about 115.4K. Guess they average 5 pumps each. That over 675K gasoline "chargers."
Still a long, long way to go all things being equal.
That said, these devices aren't dumb. They will be collecting all kinds of #data per this article: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/challenge-tesla-major-automakers-launch-ev-charging-network-2023-07-26/ from which personal behavior will either be explicit or inferred.
