Well, this will help, but this is the exception. Where EV Charge stations will probably help the locals more than the visitors--much like gas stations in that way.
Most EV drivers these days will not even look at EV charge stations within 150 miles/ 240 KM (unless towing something or driving >85 mph). But most in SF cannot home charge.
It's kinda stupid to drive an EV super fast on a long road trip, you cannot make up for the charge times even with fast charging.
I always say when on a long RV trip, "if in a big hurry, drive slowly." But for my 99.0 miles from this driveway to my driveway in my Auburn house, I can go any speed I want and still have more than half my charge left over, even if cold and in the hills. Besides, I can home charge there as well as here.
Perhaps there will be less speeders when the world is all EVs.
But other issues also in SF, making EVs not a great choice for many. Shouldn't fast charge every time if you want the battery to live longer than both, you and the EV.
