Top executives from the major car manufacturers met this week to map out the future of the industry. One of the topics of discussion focused on the need for widespread implantation of public electric car charging stations. It didn’t take long for the discussion to flip over and become a talk about how there was no need for a charging station infrastructure.

The auto execs generally felt that home charging would be sufficient to meet the public’s needs and that electric car charging stations would end up unused wastes of money.

They went on to emphasize the importance of improvements in EV batteries and how that will improve electric car range and reduce the need for charging stations.

What do you think? Is an electric car charging station infrastructure a waste of time?
