Most naysayers are depending on increasingly obsolete arguments.

You mean the one about a stable, reliable, 24 hour, seven days a week, 365 days a year electric grid with all four of the stable, reliable, forms of power production and the ten to fifteen percent instant ready backup making the stable, reliable, grid that we are losing on a daily basis with the insanity of so called renewables replacing the stable reliable sources? Those arguments?

Son, we as a nation, are right now this minute headed in the wrong direction to have what is needed for a grid with millions of new EV’s requiring a stable reliable electric grid for their operation.

Excuse the son reference, I have no idea it applies in your case, and should have wisely left it out.

Gas stations are not a natural resource. They had to be installed too.

Upgrading existing infrastructure is not unreasonable. EVs have the bonus that electricity has numerous possible sources.

Sure it’s not perfect. Neither is gas - I’ve seen more gas shortages in this region than blackouts.

Sure, argue against it. I don’t have to convince y’all. I’ve seen several comparable major technology shifts preceded by similar arguments that it couldn’t happen. There are a lot of EVs in this area, and growing fast.
