Faster isn't always better. Slow-charging EVs could have big benefits
Thinking about an EV as your next car, but worried about where to charge it, and whether you'll need a pricey electrical upgrade to your home? If you have parking and a plug somewhere nearby, your home is probably EV ready, say those who have embraced 'slow' charging.

@KarlHeinzHasliP @denki Personally, I think that standardized #batteries that get swapped would've been the solution to the charging speed problem.

#BEV|s are a problem and the #EnergyDensity and #Charging problems are hard walls that can only be circumvented (i.e. swapping fluids at a #RedoxFlow-#Battery) or ignored (i.e. #Methanol #FuelCell)...

Solving the #EnergyProblem isn't a technological issue, but a political one (see #DESERTEC)...

Got my 1st use of the Jolt EV charger network.

Went ok-ish, as the app on my mobile said it had disconnected from the charger & I had to restart the charge - which I did, then waiting 30 secs & clicked the Stop Charge button in the app & heard the car release the charger port.

I got 5% charge in 10 mins which was under the Jolt Member free charge level of 7kw.

So I got a free 5% charge in the time it took to do a quick suburban shop visit.
