Pure socialism that is guaranteed to fail. Why is this government’s responsibility? I’m make an assumption since I was just a kid, that when the Interstate system was built the government did not build filling stations and they didn’t give any money to private business to do it either. It was organic and based on supply and demand. The only case I know of sure where there is government sponsorship of filling stations is on the PA Turnpike, where there are concessions for private business. The PA Turnpike Commission is filled with graft and waste. It is the textbook example why government should not be involved.
Yeah, 17 Nobel Prize winning economists said so.
Among all of Brandon’s destructive policies (anti-fossil fuel, anti-nuke energy, an open border, CRT, Covid, electoral theft, inflation), are we supposed to believe their EV policy, forcing society into unwanted EVs, is the one policy that’s in the best interest of the American people?
Freeper EV Evangelicals believe so.
Sad.
Some have generators to operate the pumps.
Gas stations on our turnpikes are large, clean, and have adequate food choices. They also have four EV charging stations. I’ve never seen one in use.
How can you say that, they've never really been tested........../s LOL!
In the end, the total money spent divided by the number of charging stations built will be astronomical.
Probably cheaper to hire a taxi to take the electric car owners where they want to go.
And we will get stuck with the bill just like with Obama’s failed green energy ventures, solar panel plants going under, etc…
But yet, with some here on this site, EV’s are still all the rage.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander right.
At least know the facts. The US fed gov massively subsidized the development and deployment of “gas” stations in the past as they were deployed in the 1940s and 50s with the build out of the interstates. The Federal government still gives billions a year in subsidiaries to some of the richest companies on earth.
Along I-80 in N Nevada-—there are no power lines in many places.
LOOK at the ads for the cell phones.
LOOK HARD at their ‘maps of coverage’.
LOTS of places NO CELL RECEPTION.
Sooooo-Take your electric car out there & run out of power-—and you have NO cell coverage, either.
The connector will be gone in 24 hours.
Are there valuable metals in them? Copper, aluminum, gold, rare earths? Look for entire chargers getting stolen.
