Progress comes to Electric Car Operation and Charging

Me, "The progress of electric cars is advancing, with it new charging stations and less battery charging times. 

Electric cars are easier to fix because they have less moving parts. 

Where as a gasoline car has many parts that can leave you scratching your head and forcing you to take it to a repair station, an electric car has a battery, and an electric motor. (Obviously there are more things that go into a car then just its engine and power source, ex. radio, windshield wipers, a/c and heat.) But fixing an electric car is easier to do. The only draw back is replacing the battery when it reaches the end of its life; that could be expensive. But even that can be looked at as a, (do you want a new car with a new battery or your used car with a new battery mentality. The problem has always been charging times. People want to be on the move, not sitting around waiting to be on the move. The idea of ExpressPlus, to be able to scale up to handle faster charging as electric cars are able to handle faster charges is as important to how fast a gasoline car can fill up. It has always been better to be as convenient to the customer as possible without drawing their wrath.

If you have more electric car charging stations, with faster charging rates, even though an electric car may cost more, you win out over car life servicing than for a gasoline car. It comes down to more parts that can break or less. Which do you prefer? Are gasoline cars going away tomorrow? No. But electric cars have a lot more positives going for them now."

From article. "ChargePoint's New Stations Promise Fast Charge In Minutes For Your Electric Car"

(Electric vehicles are changing rapidly, with 200-mile-plus range models equipped with bigger batteries set to proliferate in the coming years. The advantage of ExpressPlus, Romano said, is that it's flexible and scalable: It can charge today's electric vehicles, like the Chevrolet Bolt EV, at their maximum rate, but can be easily upgraded to handle the charging requirements of next-generation plug-in vehicles, including electric buses and trucks.

Instead of having to rip out equipment that quickly becomes obsolete, or over-investing in high-power chargers that won't be fully utilized for a few years, ChargePoint designed ExpressPlus as a modular system that can grow to support a range of 200 volts to 1000 volts, and can serve up to a megawatt across as many as eight charging stations, with each station capable of charging from 50 kilowatts to 400 kilowatts.)
