But how do we recharge them while they are parked? How do people recharge their EV who do not have a private garage resp. need to park the car next to the sidewalk? While public parking areas probably will have charging stations installed in the future, the issue is a bit more complicated elsewhere. Recharging points also need to be compatible to other cities/counties in the same area so that you are able to use it there. How can this be done? I've recently seen a good example in Paris. The city introduced a system where people can get a bicycle from a designated parking point. You can then freely drive around and return it to any other point in the city. The parking points consist of a row of parking stands where you can dock your bicycle to a pole. To get your bike, you need a member card. This card is used to unlock the bike from the stand. A similar approach is possible regarding EV charging points. The city could upgrade certain parking areas with charging points...Or even better: the left (or right side) of the road parking is reserved for EV's. Any other ideas? ecocarforum.com - Green Car Network Community for sustainable transport

Check out the KOA campgrounds. It's funny that RVs get low mpg but could help EVs whith charging all over the US. https://koa.com/where/
