Chicago would be a good place to try it out. We have summers with 90+ degree heat and winters with the occasional sub-zero temps. If you want to see how well your charging stations can withstand environmental conditions, Chicago would be a good place to test.

Biger charging stations at the mals can be equiped with screans indicating power availability and timing. On other hand it would be rational intalling charging point in vicinity of 10 kV substation or just intall 10 kV substation ($50 000) on top of charging station and be able to charge 30 EV at the same time. 10 kV cable supports standard up to 3 MW power consumtion or generation.

And there will be never problems of doing that even with existing power generation and distribution systems. In case 200 mln EV cars would be on the US roads it would give us 3% of power consumtion. Last year power consumtion of North America decreased by 6%. The day time charging is feasable as well.
