The EV consume a lot of E(lectricity). The E production would have to increase a lot! Where from? Windmills and solar cells? Probably not.
Even worse - the fast charging stations (which still take about half and hour) require huge power transfer about 365 kW.
It needs all kind of thick wires and other tools.
In comparison, our decent size fully electrical house is wired for 6kW.
So this charger uses power of whole neighborhood or small town.
Basically the whole US power system needs to be rewired and huge investments in power generation must be made!

Are you sure?
When we put an addition to our hundred-year-old house we upgraded to a 200 amp service, at 240v.
That would max out at around 48 kWh.
The building code in the area is for a minimum service of 100 amps at 240v (24kWh).
All true (except my EV takes 10-15 minutes to charge at a 350kW charger). I think the the issues rightly point out could be solved, but only in a free market. And only if the warmageddon cult Dims quit getting in the way of making power like they get in the way of gasoline.
One of the main reasons my wife and I got an EV is to give us diversification in energy dependency. We have 2 cars: an EV car and an ICE pickup. If the Dims make gasoline hard to come by (which it was not too long ago) or too expensive (IMHO it still is), we can do most of our driving in the EV.
