    I get the 2nd point is inaccurately assumed, but it’s a going point to possibly bring up just really just how much fossil fuel is being burned by the factory in travel alone.

    If you need the electricity of a whole city, then every day those cars are burning that much.

      I even had my work as an example - we have 8 chargers, 30a level 2. That’s lower than many of us get at home

      …… but that’s the point where a better goal should be to just make up for energy used by the commute. The reality is most of us move cars at lunch time. 8 fairly low end chargers is sufficient to top off 16 cars in a standard workday, and that’s without “smart” chargers that can rebalance when some cars use less

      That factory didn’t need bigger chargers, and could easily halve that if you don’t expect people to share
