    Where will solar panels and wind turbines for powering those chargers be located at?

      If only we had tons of space on top of things we already need everywhere people live and work… and everyone knows that windmills create a 250 m exclusion zone around them that you can’t do anything in anymore, and my god we really don’t need to start shading our crops because the direct sunlight is starting to dry them out because of a constant record in temps every year…

      If only there were people who would do some research on this stuff…

      but in all reality there really is plenty of space for solar panels, wind turbines, etc… (unless you are the Holy Sea, San Marino, Lichtenstein, etc…) and we are even expanding chemical storage of energy in Europe now (hydrogen + synth gas)
