A Simple Calculation

 I did a quick calculation. Here we go. Assuming to have near zero blocking at stations we get:

Number Servers 5
Arrival Rate 0.02
Block Probability                   0.002
Holding Time 45
E 0.9




US Autos        150,000,000
Number Sites            1,953,125
 
   
Miles per Car 200
Miles per day 50
Days per charge 4
Hours per day 16
Arrival rate per car 0.000260417
Cars per site 76.8

 

To handle the cars in US with no significant delay per site you need about 2 million charging sites with 5 chargers per site! At 10,000 sq feet per site, 100x100 ft, you need 20 billion sq feet of new space!
