I just can't take you seriously when you say things that are gross oversimplifications at best or outright falsehoods at worst—for instance that selling gas isn't "a viable business" (and hasn't been since peak gas station!), or that the only practical difficulty standing in the way of a full nationwide rollout of charging services to provide for EV drivers' needs at scale is as simple as "running a cable from a building to parking lot". It reads like you're trying to convince somebody these things are true by rhetorical sleight-of-hand rather than well-founded argument, and it's not going to work on me. > An EV is a bigger breakthrough than a smartphone (which is primarily a content/addiction delivery mechanism). These are consumer products! The average consumer's eyes are going to glaze over if you try to give them this spiel; they'll probably pull out their iPhone and start scrolling. EV ownership saves a lot of people money and time, which I assume is the primary reason their market share is growing so rapidly right now—those people see the value proposition. Schemes like distributed grid energy storage via EV battery have the potential to save consumers even more money, but those schemes will have to be implemented on the garden path of EV ownership to actually move the consumer demand needle.
