Petrol stations have various strict requirements regarding their electrical installations for obvious reasons. How will adding a MW size supply for a few high power chargers be dealt with, separation? Will earth leakage currents be a problem? If I remember correctly the reason the canopys are so high is to move the lighting into a different zone.
I have also often wondered if it would be better to re-invent motorail and keep cars on the move while charging them from the 25kV train overheads.
That would be an excellent idea and extend the potential travelling distance of many electric cars!
I've always thought how great it would be if Eurotunnel's vehicle trains could extend their journey and travel through the whole of Europe rather than kicking you out at Calais and then you having to do the potentially very long drive to your destination. ?
