It doesn't help that greed means that even though electricity is everywhere and is the most fungible form of energy, we're putting arbitrary limitations to buying it, way more than gas/petrol despite the latter actually requiring significantly more infrastructure. With a gas car I am confident I can drive up to any gas station and get fuel with my credit card. I'm not confident I can do the same with electric cars - even if I do find a charge point, I'm worried it's not going to let me pay & charge until I download a stupid app, provide a ton of data to hundreds of data brokers and still remain stranded when all this mess of moving parts breaks down somewhere and doesn't let me proceed.
