Compared to all the problems humanity faces (such as not addressing the low-carbon energy transition) it’s hard to be intimidated by a situation where EVs become wildly popular and we have to spend a modest fraction of their cost on wiring charging infrastructure and grid upgrades (a cost we can amortize over decades.)
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoIt's not just the cost... it's the material and time needed, all the regulation, permits, etc. Forbidding something is easy... but where the hell will people charge their cars before the cargers are installed? Do you know how long it takes to build a power plant? Do you know how much those things cost? Is there even a company able to build literally billions of charging stations in the next 20 years? 2035 is comming fast... some people have been waiting for a basic build permit for longer than that.
