I guess that's their home.

I know, and he won't be in office by then. It will be rescinded by the nex t governor. Even if it stays, you can import ICE from WA,NV and AZ.
Nonsense. Nobody buys an $80,000 Tesla to "save money." Or even a $50,000 one.
Boomers seem to complain about "the kids these days" spending all their money on avocado toast and the latest video games and fashions.
But also complain when you like to save money, too. Really can't win.
Every 30-something I know are pretty savvy at managing their money you pretty much have to be to live just about anywhere in the US in something resembling a middle-class lifestyle in the year 2021 on a $40-70k salary, when one didn't make out like a bandit on property or investments 25 years ago.
It's silly when businesses could be turning an extra monthly profit for literally no further investment than they've already made other than just changing some bits in software.
The same supermarkets often spend I don't know, 40, 50 grand? on shopping-cart security systems to protect $100 carts that probably get stolen a dozen times a year.
One of the stores near me the contractor ran the invisible "fence" too near to the entrance due to the lot geometry and at some point someone set the RF amp gain on it too high for the topology and someone walked off with one and the transmitter locked up half the carts in the store.
I don't agree with that. I think that we will see many, many retail busine sses begin to provide level 2 charging facilities. The typical installatio n is low enough power at 5 kW that it costs less than $1 an hour for the el ectricity. That is so in the noise for retail even if every car in the lot were charging it would be a boon.
There are many urban EV owners who can't charge at home because they have n o way to add charging having no garage or driveway. I'm surprised these pe ople buy EVs, but it is happening and puts a burden on the level 3 charging facilities. For those people it would be much better to charge while they shop or to charge while they work assuming they aren't working at home.
The landscape is going to change. In not so many years EVs will be popular enough that it will be the thing to support them. In a recent conversatio n a supermarket store manager told me he has asked corporate to install som e charging facilities. So far he has not gotten a "yes", but I would bet i t's not because of the expense, but because they are waiting for things to settle and clear up a bit. I'm pretty sure most people don't even understa nd the nature of car charging. For retail they don't need to consider leve l 3 charging. Level 2 charging is perfectly adequate and very affordable.

You seem to think the world revolves around your personal experiences. You spotted one station that supports Chademo on every charger. I've already shown you that the Asian companies are throwing in the towel on Chademo in the US market. It's done, it's over, the fat lady has sung. Chademo is g oing to dry up and blow away here. Why can't you see that? CCS will be th e fast charging standard for any car that isn't a Tesla.
You need to realized the EV market is not about the past. It's about the f uture. EVs are on an exponential growth curve and the current number of EV s on the road will be doubling, tripling, quadrupling. The support infrast ructure is looking ahead, not behind. Chademo does not have a future in th e US. If your car charges with a Chademo connector I'm sure you will not f ind existing charging being ripped out... not right away anyhow. But going forward it will be much less supported.

Its not just one station. It was just an example. All 22 new CalTrans cha rgers, including the Tejon Pass, are dual plugs chargers, as well as new EC and CP chargers, all support CDM. Phasing out CDM is going to take many, many years.

chargers are happening.
w EC, CP and CT dual chargers. EG still has the most installed unit in conv enient locations, but not growing much either.
You are just never going to get it are you? Tesla chargers are growing con stantly. Your personal experience is not meaningful.
I have no idea what your alphabet soup means and I'm not going to try to fi gure it out. There will be a few Chademo chargers for some time to come, b ut you should try to not be in denial. If the auto makers stop making cars with Chademo connectors there will be no reason to build more of them. En d of story.

I probably spend less than a minute a month plugging in my Tesla or unplugg ing it. I don't have to worry about spilling gas on myself or the car and I don't have to deal with crowding at pumps or the jerks pulling into the g as station too fast.
No, there is nothing I miss about not having to use gas stations. My only lament is some of the charging stations I use on trips are at gas stations. Much nicer when they are at motels where they give free coffee and snacks .

Yes, absolutely true. No one is going to rip out existing connectors. Wit h ever reducing numbers of EVs with Chademo connectors are on the road, the re will be fewer vehicles competing for them. But as the number of charger s doubles and triples and increases 10 fold, the number of Chademo connecto rs won't.
Oh, wait. The Chademo connectors share a charger with a CCS connector, so there will still be plenty of competition for the charger, just not the Cha demo connector.
