Yep. There is a new apartment building complex with 176 parking spots in the parking lot. There are at least 40 half tons. :) Meh. People have different tastes and needs. Nothing wrong with a half ton as a daily driver.
The developers included 4 level 2 charging stations for residents only. There are a few BEV's there so they get used. Apparently room for a dozen more, Good foresight on their part. BEV sales are climbing fast in this province, I think once EV trucks are out that will climb even faster. Teslas are like corolas in out little town. :) (Little exaggeration :) )
Yea, unfortunately they will need to upgrade all the electric in a lot of those parking lots and decks. Lots of places by me have 150 plus units with a multi story parking deck. And 0 chargers. This could be a mess. I have no idea the amount of voltage needed, plus the transformer capacities.
The lot behind where i work has 3 chargers that have been there for like 5 years. Maybe a bit longer. At first no one used them, now everyone is fighting for those spots. To the future! .......maybe.......
