I’m an entrepreneur based in LA and recently moved from a house with a Tesla charger to an apartment in WeHo without a charging station.

I’ve realized there’s a large gap for fast charging in the West LA area. There’s only one Supercharger in WeHo (plans to build a second but unclear on timeline).

I’m curious what the viability is to set up a new fast charging station. I’m still in the research phase (talking EV Box to get a better understanding of startup costs etc) but curious if anyone here has first hand experience.

This area is very underserved - many apartments tons of Tesla & EVs.

    In Austria it doesn’t work that well (mainly due to pricing probably) . Superchargers mainly hogged by old model S (which probably free charging ?)

    Depends on location probably. Know of some here in Austria that are hardly visited despite open. But some others have customers. Location nevertheless is very important. My main point was - for the price of a 350kw charger you can probably build 50 L2 chargers spread across the town/city. So risky to build only very few chargers within a town. The highway there might help
