Why is a single Burger King putting in 7 L2 stations in your example? To make the costs the same? Why wouldn't they do what most places do, and put in one or two L2 stations? If you're going to stack the deck in your sides favor, why not make it 15-20 L2 stations? Then the cost difference would definitely go your waycamasleaf said:DANandNAN said:The L2 stations are cheaper, install is cheaper, the electricity is cheaper
I do not believe you are right, for what it provides a QC is cheaper:
- charger around $10000 (the cheap Nissan) or 10L2 EVSEs.
- installation of 7 L2 can be more expensive than a QC (assuming that Burger King already has the 480V, you will need more conduit, wires and LABOR for 7 L2)
- if 7 L2 are charging at the same time at the same location the cost of electricity will be the same (L2 might be more efficient).
- you only take one parking space
- the fact that will eliminate any "range anxiety", "lost 1 capacity bar" and "16 hours to charge" stories PRICELESS
And the auto manufactures that are behind know it.
L2 is cheaper.
