“… I drove EV’s for over 6 years. Sure, there’s some kinks that need to be worked out and they are not for everybody - especially those with anxiety issues.
That said, if they can come up with one that gets over 500 miles per full charge (give it 2 or 3 years) it’ll be worth it.
Getting infrastructure installed around the world will take time too….”

I have ZERO problem with anyone who wants to “go electric” with their vehicle(s) or who wants to get in a related business. We should NOT have subsidies for buying those vehicles and we should not have taxpayers on the hook for building out charging locations.
When gasoline powered vehicles were first beginning to sell in numbers, the government didn’t add incentives to buyers and they sure didn’t use public funds to build nationwide gasoline sales infrastructure… private enterprise met that need. In the same fashion private enterprise should build up infrastructure WHERE IT IS ECONOMICALLY COMPETITIVE. Don’t ask others to subsidize your transportation preferences.
100% agree - no subsidies.
Let the market decide.
