If theres one thing we could do now to hasten the transition to electric vehicles , its this: Build a robust public EV-charging infrastructure. The function of the port is to convert AC power from the grid into DC, which is then applied to the battery. To those who dont yet own an EV, a robust infrastructure may seem unimportant.
