"Apartment building haven't been constructed with appropriate electrical infrastructure to support multiple chargers drawing up to 11kW."
Nor have the neighbourhoods where these apartments are built...
We live in a low-density area, and (before we had solar installed) we ran the pool pumps at night, to get cheaper 'off peak' rates.
On a really cold night in July 2023, with the aircon running, the hot water heating, the pool pump running, and a bunch of other things....we drew 8kw for a sustained period...(checked my suppliers app for this)
Even a granny charger (32amps) can draw up to 7.7 kw when its running....
suddenly adding dozens of large homes draw into an area designed for much lower draw means substantial upgrades to the supplier's infrastructure...
I personally am all for EV's - i'll get one when the mighty Falc wears out....*
But my use case is different....If i leave the house at all i use public transport, and the big fella only goes to the shops and back...so i can have an EV sitting in the garage all day soaking up the herbs from the solar...
I probably dont need a supercharger....
If we downsize to a flat i don't know how this would work...
*** hehehe who ever heard of a Falc wearing out....
