“I’ve had a number of small businesses reach out to me and say I don’t have $5,000 or $10,000 for a government mandate to put in an EV station,” Rep. Brad Christ, a south St. Louis City Republican, said.

They buy it, they own it. Pay for the charging station, install it, set the price for usage, make some extra loot. Now all the gubmint has to do is guarantee the electricity won't be cut off. And if it is, the gubmint pays a hefty penalty. $500 every hour or go to jail is a good start. Just an idea.

Lets go to the scenario that you own a E-car and go out for burger at Jacky’s Burgers. You decide to charge your car while munching on the burger.

Somewhere in the hour at Jacky’s Burgers, during recharge....rain starts to fall, and some short occurs....tragically setting events into motion where your E-car catches on fire.

Who will you sue? Jacky’s Burgers? The local power company? The guy who installed the charger? The local city who failed to inspect the charger? Your E-car company?

No one mandates or pays for my gas stations...damned if i want to provide electridiots juice.

Maybe there should be a special surcharge on each and every ev,,,the cost of one charger.

The EV world has been waiting for that “something better” to come along ever since Robert Anderson built the first one in the 1830s. That is what? 190 or so years?
Still waiting, unless you are allowed to count the internal combustion engine as that “something better”.

Great move, Missouri. I’m wondering, since Amish is a big group (in the La Plata area), I wonder if LIBERALS have yet mandate for them to have an ELECTRIC HORSE & BUGGY! 🤓

This is a waste of money until quick charging batteries are available and are recyclable.

My son just bought a Tesla 3. He lives in SoCal and wants to come up and visit me in Western Nevada this weekend. It’s a 400 mile trip with much of it in cold and snowy mountain terrain. His Tesla gets around 220 miles per charge. There are 4 Supercharger stations between there and here. Hope they all work.
