I was not aware that lots of new petrol stations were being built .
But that cost is for upgrading the sub station .
Porsche are saying that they will spend Billions on upgraded charging stations around the world .
Where is that money coming from ?
Is it like Tesla ,[ who have never made a profit in any year since they have been going ] , but get a Green subsidy from any Government , [ IE taxpayer ] , who will pay them .
And one of the " Future Energy Scenarios " for the UK quoted £350 Million for extra EV charging points around the country .
So , unlike Petrol stations which are paid for by fuel companies , it seems all of the EV use , [ cost of the cars & charging ,] is going to be subsidised by the tax payer .
PS . A lot of large motorway service stations have the capacity for about 6 50KW chargers .
If they changed to your super charger for a 10 minute fill up , then the max they could have would be 1 unit .
