unlikely it will be good for much with less than 1GB memory available. Should be a good reminder that true personal computers are still available and at only a modest cost premium.
Blame AI.
Everybody that I know who has implemented Turnstile (or similar things like Anubis) has done so because they are getting absolutely pounded by bots scraping content to feed their LLMs. Reasonably-well-behaved bots used to be 20-30% of my traffic, but that's surged to over 70% recently. Several of my sites were DOSed on multiple occasions until we got Turnstile setup.
Part of the problem is that there are a massive number of chargers being installed where people live and thus could have charged at home, but how many are being built in the middle of nowhere where they are really needed?
Charging stations are built and operated by profit making enterprises. One would think market forces would fix that problem. I'd be far more worried about political ideologues banning BEVs and charging stations because the are 'woke' technology, which is of course just an execute to artificially prop up oil companies and the dying ICE car industry instead of letting that fail which the market has already decided is doomed to failure.
Why would you ever compare the quantity of nozzles vs chargers? Nozzles take 60 seconds to top you off. Chargers take 30 minutes. A better question might be how many chargers do you need to provide the same functionality as a single nozzle?
You make an excellent point. If most people can plug in to a private outlet at home each night, we should need a lot fewer public chargers than public nozzles.
The real question is what proportion of a day are nozzles actually occupied. I expect that number is extremely low. Chargers may take 30 minutes but they are just being used for a greater proportion of the day than gas nozzles. Furthermore, if there is twice the number of them than gas nozzles, tons of people also just charge at home overnight rather than using public charging stations and battery charge times are constantly decreasing I don't think a dearth of charging stations is going to be a problem unless Orange Palpatine declares electric transportation 'woke' passes a federal law banning charging stations and/or electric cars and then sends out police and the military to enforce it.
The trouble with being poor is that it takes up all your time.
