Canada's most populous provinces are falling behind many U.S. states when it comes to building fast charging stations for electric vehicles, a CBC News analysis shows, raising questions about whether this country's infrastructure is ready for a transition to cleaner energy.

My office has underground parking, and every stall has a 120V 15A plug

and how many spots in that underground parking lot? Just a hundred would be another 1500amp service just for that.

Maybe 100 in total? Doesn't matter... It used to be a factory, and it's now mixed use. They did a few modernization projects (lighting, replaced old power-hungry equipment), and reduced their average power draw by 1MW. And there aren't that many electric cars, and they're not all there are the same time. When I need to charge, I plug it in, but schedule the charge to start at 1am when demand drops off.
