The world faces lack of electrical car drivers

While in the developed world of gasoline stations are “in each step”, electrical car drivers (EV) are much less popular, the KP broadcasts.

The rowers' disadvantage is especially affected in the suburbs of large cities and rural areas, so some car owners must spend tens of miles at the nearest station to refuel batteries.

A survey conducted by Bloomberg on the subject has shown that about 5 million electric vehicles are driven worldwide, while the global network of drivers currently consists of 632,000 fill stations.

Further analysis reveals that these loaders are focused mainly on locations and regions where electric vehicles are well - known, so EV owners who travel far from home can face a serious problem when they try to find a driver on their journey. Even if they find a place to load near their route, they can face a new problem.

Over 66% of the existing drivers belong to the “category by second” and for every 15km of additional vehicle autonomy, it takes half an hour to load batteries.

As for the loading network, one of the obstacles to further expansion is that it does not pay back investors at the current moment when electric vehicles make up an extremely small percentage of the total number of vehicles on the road. That's why many existing drivers are not profitable.

Bloomberg says that in the case of a quick loader it should be used at least eight times a day to make effective costs for investors. However, many such loaders are now used less than five times a day.

However, some companies, such as Tesla, are planning to expand the drivers' network to welcome the announced expansion of electric vehicles. For example, Tesla plans to expand its “supre-communicator network” in Europe and the US since the beginning of this year.

This is just one point in the ocean, as the International Energy Agency estimates that by 2030, about 14 to 30 million public electrical drivers will be needed worldwide if market participation in new cars will reach 30% by then.
