Compare that to use percentage, same time of day in similar neighborhood (including proximity to typical commutes), for gas stations.

Granted, home-and-work charging means that there's less demand for on-the-road charging.  There aren't as many workplaces, let alone homes, which offer on-site gasoline refueling.









Adrian I just went by the No-Musk station for the second time today, time 1630.  No customers.

To estimate this demand correctly, we would need to know the fraction of cars which are No-Musk EVs and how long those take to charge.  I have a neighbor with a Rivian, so I might be able to find out the second question.  On the first question: this is tricky.  There are plenty of No-Musks, but it is harder to count them than it is to count the Yes-Musks, since Tesla only has about five models.

Of real interest to me is how much power a data center devours per... what?  What is the relevant unit?  Are those things huge buildings filled with NVidea GPU processors?  What are they calculating?  I see that NVidea high end processors use a ton of power: 400 to 1000 W, dang.  My strategy might not work: encourage the masses to buy EVs, then add all the power infrastructure needed to support all that, then when the demand for power gets high enough because of the runup to the Singularity, the EV drivers park or get ICE buggies, freeing up all that electric power capacity.  If the faceless masses don't get EVs, the strategy won't work.

Does anyone here have a No-Musk EV?  How long do those take to charge on a standard charger?  How about on a high-speed?
