Whoa @Reisender, those are impressive posts and analysis.

Yeah, we've seen the same in California. In fact the state now requires all new houses to have solar panels as source of electricity. Hospitals, schools, company garages... etc. would have solar panels.

Western states have targets of 2035 to 2045 to have 100% of their electricity needs coming from renewables.

Yup, gas stations too are starting to have charging stations. And it's obiguitous in malls and commercial centers.

I wonder though what happened to Elon Musk's proposals to share access (for a fee) to other EV manufacturers and to have a common standards for all stations for this access.

That was being discussed awhile ago on TMC. From what I gather the offer still stands but no one has stepped up to the plate with the cash yet. Having said that CCS and Chademo sites are starting to build out fast now world wide. Tesla’s Supercharger advantage is easy billing and high speed. CCS and Chademo are gaining ground rapidly in the speed area but the vast majority of EV’s that are not Tesla can only charge at a 70 KW rate whereas Tesla V3 Super chargers are 250 KW and something like a model 3 and model Y can actually charge that fast. Other networks like EVgo are actually adding Tesla cables though. So far just in California but I think in a year from now most of these other companies will be putting Tesla hoses on their DCFC stations. If they dont they are missing the biggest batch of customers.
