Public EV charging often feels like an afterthought—chargers parked in open lots, exposed to weather, poorly maintained, and lacking the convenience and reliability drivers expect from petrol stations. That mismatch undermines trust even as charging speeds improve.Building dedicated charging hubs with canopies, mixed connectors, on-site oversight, clear traffic flow, and nearby services (stores, restrooms, coffee) would make charging predictable, comfortable, and habit-forming—helping EV adoption move from novelty to normalcy.

​This podcast explores the current state and future potential of EV charging infrastructure, comparing it to traditional petrol stations. It highlights the need for better maintenance, security, and integration of EV stations into everyday life to facilitate widespread adoption.
