The charging challenge I
The charging challenge I would like to see addressed is charging for inner city apartment dwellers. The specific issue here to my mind is the vulnerability of the charging apparatus, ie cord, plug, etc., which are open to simple vandalism. Remembering back to the days of public phones, these were often targets. The cords of these phones were actually reinforced in a metal sleeve and still got damaged or destroyed. I don’t think it will be practical for overnight street charging for the above reasons and fast chargers will be needed for urban settings so the owner can monitor ( guard ) their vehicle during charging. Gas stations would still be an option since it would allow the owners to charge with the availability of restrooms and snack shops. Many Tesla chargers are actually at gas stations and this seems like a workable solution.
