Don't worry, manufacturers have 12 years to sort these problems out ( California hopes ).

Gavin Newsom: So it shall be written. So it shall be done.

Prepare for articles such as these, which run counter to the official narrative, to be labelled as disinformation by our government/media overlords.

Try to find a charger for your dead car on MLK Blvd.

The MARKET built refueling stations for gasoline cars. Because it is part of the capitalist economy, the owners are incented to keep the places (somewhat) nice, operational, and in good working order.

The GOVERNMENT is forcing EVs on us and is building charging stations. They will be like everything else the government does and touches — all fouled up, broken, no maintenance, vandalized — and nobody in government will give one sh!t.

***We want fast chargers that take 30 to 40 minutes***

And I can fill up with gas at almost any self-serve station in less than 10 minutes.

I’m not going to wait that long just to charge my car. NO WAY. Not especially when I am travelling.

Exactly right - because "they" will all have exemptions that allow "them" to use gas-powered vehicles.

who leased a Hyunday Kona Electric SUV for his 17-year-old daughter, Maddie.

So a lease? ok fine. But what parent would subject their 17 year old daughter to having to hang out in a parking lot for hours for her car to charge? No danger there.

NO WAY IN HELL would I put my daughter in an EV.

Dah!! Some people need to experience the burn from a hot stove before they get it.

Wait until thieves and muggers start viewing these public charging points as easy, target rich environments.

These are unmanned sections of a parking lot somewhere. Not a manned gas station.

Crank out the nuke plants, nickel/NiMH, Cobalt, Lithium, a mountainous supply of charging stations (Especially in cities/apartment complexes/condos that make eye balls sore), windmills, solar panels materials (Just because), etc... and welcome the Brave New World of dystopian Utopian reality. Sounds like progress, especially if rural living gets eradicated.

There will be plenty there. The Biden Admin, in the name of their new equity policy will mandate that many of their 500,000 charging stations must be built in “underserved communities”.

"...that's why older EVs don't have 40,000 miles on them."

Don't forget about that $30,000 replacement battery.

Says he's now been forced to wander around a local Walmart in Burbank, California while his Tesla recharges.

That's what I want to do, wander around a China Mart in LA while my car tops up.

Snort~

Also built in places where no one needs them (see my last post) or wants them.

And fast charging EVs is great! Each and every time you do it, you shorten the life of battery pack and reduce the EV range!
