Actually they could be a government money maker think of every parking meter all the sudden becoming a parking meter / charging station.....
So your local city government becomes your electric / gas station for your car
crap you know that’s coming cuz they’re going to love that that’s a moneymaker for the city
so the government has a vested interest to double even triple dip
they give a big tax subsidy “paid for by you and me via gasoline tax” to have people buy these cars
And then the local government make profit on the back side and setting up parking meter/charging stations to charge these cars
And many electrical utilities are owned by the municipal government... so they’re the one actually selling you providing you the power end to end
extending the logic of the government setting up their own charging stations at parking meters I think when you see a critical mass of electric cars especially in downtown urban areas
you’ll start seeing them restricting the number of gas stations in those areas via environmental regulations to squeeze them out.... effectively making gas not available downtown and favoring the electric vehicles
with the added unspoken benefit that the gas was provided by private businesses but the electrical charging is provided by the local municipality at those charging station parking meters
