I predict they’ll build all these EV stations and they’ll find out that no one is buying EVs and they’ll lose billions of dollars, just like GM and Ford. They’ll be called the “Bud Light” of oil companies.

California is afflicted with a very weak and unreliable electrical supply (due to the communist policies of its politicians shutting down or blocking almost all energy supply development while its population tripled)

plus, California is afflicted with the highest electrical rates in America (due to the longstanding corruption in its politics and socalled utility “regulation” — which stinks sky-high and has done so for many years)

anyone trusting to the California electrical system to charge his/her car... needs their head examined

I went to an Electrify charger spot and 2 of 4 chargers were missing the cables and the other two were busy. Cable theft for sure. I went to the Shell Recharge nearby and they wanted .65 per kilowatt. Electricify is .56. I went to a different Electrify location. They had all their cables. If I have to buy 40 kilowatts it’s 4 bucks. Shell would have to sell the electricity a little bit cheaper to be in that business. I would guess that the car charging business is not Shell’s best option.

If they don't build generating capacity to power all these charging stations, the idea is dead as a door-nail anyway.
