This is one way to solve the battery issue for some electric vehicles

Has new construction started including charging stations yet?

It'll take government regulation to make it feasible or every manufacturer will make their own proprietary battery type that won't work with other makes. Basically like they do in the battery powered tool market and how cell phone charging ports worked back in the day before regulations forced them to be standardized.

Not that I've seen, but it should.

Yep. We can probably expect that sort of regulation in another 40 years.

Either need battery swap or super chargers that work in 2-3 minutes

Unless government regulate batteries

yeah, a lot of E-BIKES in Europe do this too.

it helps that those have mainly standarized a bit.

2-3 minutes for a car-sized battery to recharge is physically impossible

some new homes are.

Or at least ensuring a dedicated line of appropriate size from the panel to the garage can be installed at a later time.

We have a massive housing affordability issue and now we want EV charging stations included in new construction driving up costs even more when EVs are still a very tiny percentage of the vehicles on the road? That's asinine.

If you have an EV and you want to add a charging station, then do it. Seems simple enough.

Another article about a Chinese car that charges to 80% in 8 minutes but not going to post them all. Currently not possible and physically impossible are different things

This makes sense. Already having the station included makes no sense currently
