Nope, no sale. Couple of problems with this "reasoning":Kuuuurija said:With level 2 charging it takes a lot more time for charging significant amount of battery capacity, than it can be normally spent at a burger restaurant. Besides, the share of electric vehicles is too small to increase number of the customers. I think it would be more effective if the restaurant offers free litre of gasoline for their customers.
Here in the USA it would be a HUGE boost to EV sales, without a doubtKuuuurija said:I seriously doubt that this will help to promote electric vehicles. Here, in Estonia we have decent network of public fast chargers . . . .
It's starting to happen up here in the Northwest, Don. There's a beloved merchant called Fred Meyer (originally local, now owned by Kroger) that is basically a Super Wal-Mart with union labor, so all the lefties shop there while sneering at Wal-Mart. :mrgreen: Freddy's has installed J1772 at a number of locations, and EV drivers are making a point to point out their patronage to the managers. Being a superstore, one can often exceed an hour inside, so it meets my rule-of-thumb for practical Level 2 opportunity charging.Don said:If every McDonalds worldwide was to install just one charging space, it would be a real game changer - If WalMart was to do it, they would see lots of folks change their buying habits I'm sure
