After the initial period of complimentary public charging, we will all be charging at home anyway.Anyone buying a new car should get an EV, not an ICE (internal combustion engine). We can all slowly fry together or get with the program.Robert Wahler, San Jose A: Yours was one of many responses to recent columns about EVs and charging stations, including a reader asking why the charging stations are typically close to building entrances.Q: The most practical reason to place EV charging equipment close to the building has to do with access to electrical service. The further away from existing service, the more expensive the installation.Kevin Hickman, San RamonA: And…Q: EV proponent and mechanical engineer here.
