They'll wise up to it when people start requesting it.

I'll even pay a premium for a 100% guaranteed reserved charging spot at a hotel. This way I can just gun it and arrive at 1% charge, plug in, sleep, have breakfast and be on my way with a full battery again.



Small hotel owner here. There is no grid capacity near our airport, we actually have a restriction of 15kW limit / building in the area, and we ended up powering each floor from a different building (my family owns the neighbouring houses).

We had gov't grants available to build charging stations, and couldn't get them because of the power grid situation.


That's a singularly shitty power grid right there :)

Charging overnight even at 2-3kW is plenty for most people, that's usually enough to get you a good 100-200km away from the hotel and to a fast charger (or your next destination).
