China's 2,250kW chargers are already in service, while US thinks about 750kW next year

Geely announced 2.2MW charging last week, and it's already out in 5 cities. Meanwhile, EVgo's 750kW US chargers are delayed until next year.

That’s why you don’t need as many chargers as you need gas stations.

They cost more to purchase, install, and it's going to cost more for people charging at those stations.

Drivers who can wait a few more minutes would be better off using cheaper lower-power charging stations, or ideally charging overnight at home.

Maybe 1% or even less is used on road trip type charging.

For level 1 or 2 you only need normal power lines don't even need those big boxes.

I charge on a 120v outlet one overnight every 1-2 weeks. Golden

And if I stop I want it to be somewhere nice. Not a gas station/charge station. A 5 minute leg stretch is plenty.

I didn't mind too much because it's a long drive and I had to eat but a bit snapier would have been nice for two of the stops.

Like, 500 kW is more than enough for normal cars. Maybe most beneficial for large trucks?

But good news nonetheless.
