At some point it might be appropriate to frame the problem as being with "very large companies," but we're still at a point where the technology (mostly storage) isn't quite ready.
Coming from a US perspective, politicians aren't helping, either. If climate change were really a concern, the US wouldn't be putting a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs, and there'd be a large government push for building out the charging network.
- melling 2y agoThere is a large government push to build out the charging network. “Biden’s $7.5 billion investment in EV charging has only produced 7 stations in two years” https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2024/03/28/ev-charging-stations-slow-rollout/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2024/03/28/...
- dehrmann 2y agoWhat's sad is most of the EV hesitancy is because of range anxiety, charging stations are the fix, and building a charging station is relatively easy.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoThat headline is quite misleading; if you read the article you find that the issue is that it takes time for States to come up with a funding proposal for something that is brand new for them. There's a lot of lead time required for these types of projects.
- melling 2y agoThat’s sort of entirely different discussion. My point was we are building 500,000 additional chargers. I’m sure we’ll get there. Once done, it should significantly increase EV adoption.
