Ever wondered about the secret sauce behind a robust electric vehicle (EV) charging network? 🤔 It's all about a strategic mix of destination charging, on-street charging, and rapid charging. Let me break it down for you. Firstly, destination charging is a game-changer. 🏨 It's all about installing chargers at places where you'll spend a bit of time—shopping centres, hotels, or even your workplace. The key? Convenience. It's like charging your phone while you're at the office; your car gets juiced up while you go about your day. No fuss, no rush. Then there's on-street charging. This one's crucial for city dwellers, especially those without a driveway. 🏙️ The strategy here is accessibility. Cities are rolling out more on-street options, making it as easy as parking and plugging in. But it's not just about quantity; it's about smart placement and reliability. Chargers need to be where people park regularly, and they've got to work every single time. Now, let's talk rapid charging. ⚡ These are the chargers that get your EV from "almost empty" to "ready to go" while you grab a coffee. They're essential for long trips, reducing range anxiety and making EVs a viable option for everyone. The successful strategy here? A network of rapid chargers along major routes and at key locations, like motorway service stations. But what's really driving the success of these strategies? Collaboration!!! 🤝 Governments, businesses, and energy providers are coming together to create a seamless charging experience. It's about smart investments and even smarter technology—think apps that show you the nearest charger or let you pay with a tap of your phone. In summary, the winning formula for a reliable EV charging network is a balanced mix of destination, on-street, and rapid charging, underpinned by strategic placement, ease of use, and rock-solid reliability. And remember, it's not just about putting chargers everywhere; it's about making them work for the everyday EV driver. #ElectricVehicles #EVCharging #SustainableTransport

👏 Hear Hear! Totally agree a mix of charging is so important... something we just don't see yet in the New Zealand public charging ecosystem unfortunately
