In Australian cities there are now chargers at major box retailer's car-parks and shopping centers. There are also small chargers on electricity poles in inner city streets. This week I saw a Windrose electric prime mover at an interstate highway service station, charging at the regular car chargers. Unfortunately, it was so big it was taking up two bays. There will need to be special provision for truck charging. There is still a problem with charging for those in apartments. Building managers are understandably reluctant to have charging in the basement car parks.
