The biggest hindrance to EV cars in the US is the lack of public charging.
Until every WalMart, Target, 7-11, and government agency have charging stations on 1/3 of their parking lot, public EV vehicles are a pipe dream.
Detroit is, sadly, calling this 100% correctly. There is no point in doing heavy public EV rollouts until there is a demonstrated political will to roll out the charging infrastructure.
- seb1204 2y agoFor large parts of suburban areas with single or dual family homes this is just wrong. Even a wall socket charger (no wall box) will keep most commuters charged. Yes, charging infrastructure needs to develop but for many this is a no issue to adopt.

- ashoeafoot 2y agoThat is only partially correct. The charging infrastructure can become self rolling out. As in a robot driven cabledrum comes feom a central place to your car. The whole "it has to mimick a petrol station" idea is evaporating fast.
