But I don’t think it’s pure hate. The majority of people who vote in favour of this don’t have the knowledge/experience to immediately see the fallacy of their action and don’t stop to think about it for a second. I bet if you manage to convince them to stop and reason about it, most will agree with what I said. Even if you want to fight electric cars on principle, the taxpayer money that’s already been spent on the charging points is better to stay there than to be destroyed by spending even more taxpayer money. The politicians proposing this however don’t work on love or hate - they work on whatever will get their prospective voter base riled up to vote for them, and what’s best than something that elicits a knee-jerk reaction? Even if it’s not best for the voters, the politician would’ve already made their money and retired by the time the consequences hit.
