RE:How Many Charging Stations Will Be Needed in 2030?Well, no matter how you do the math, we will need more chargers of all levels everywhere.
Dm should be ( and is ) seeking out the locations where there will be maximum utilization.
Malls for example. Charge while you shop. Hotels ( Holiday Inn ring a bell? )
Leave the huge networks of chargers where a lot of them will be unprofitable for the
likes of Tesla to deal with. Dm has the oppurtunity to cherry pick. With the different
charge level machines they can fill various needs, including home charging.
I prefer smaller but profitable to larger but unprofitible. I suspect Tesla and the
automakers will have to one way or another subsidize the networks.
That's thier problem. DM should execute DMEVS as a niche player where
profits are higher and costs lower. And.. That's what they are doing.
Not to say DMEVS won't get big, it likely will. It's early in the game.
But the key is not to try to be everything to everybody. Stick to profitable business.
