How does a temporary charger work? Does it just plug into a wall outlet or something? Or did like the army corps of engineers or something show up and wire together a DC charger right there. I see they’re mostly at park and rides – do these places have easily accessible commercial outlets or something? Regardless of how its done super cool to see Florida catering to the cars of the future 🙂

Hopefully someone will take some pix of the charging stations. How many can it charge at once and at what rate. In an emergency, I would think at least 150kW so you could do at lest 2 cars per hour per plug and 6-8 plugs.
Assuming a Diesel generator powering it up unless the utility had some quick connect spots vs. the generator. Getting Diesel to the generator might turn out to be an issue.

Is Tesla getting OTA range boosts like the have in the past?
