“Tesla’s 10,000 charging stations in parking garages of hotels isn’t remotely the infrastructure needed to replace combustion.”

Teslas 10,000 charging stations are independent facilities NOT tied to parking garages or hotels.

Add up all the EV charging stations in the U.S. and you are in the hundreds of millions.

Every home and business that has a 120v 20 amp circuit is a charging station!

Look every 20 amp circuit is not a charging station.. your advocacy is borderlining on zealotry. Pull into my driveway and attempt to use my circuit as your charging station and see how quickly you are arrested for trespassing and theft. Stop being silly. That line is the same nonsense as every man is a potential rapist.

Electric is nowhere near a place where it is going to replace combustion, and without either gasoline prices shooting to $10 or $20 a gallon, or regulatory force ending the legal sale of combustion engines.

It may get there some day but it’s not anywhere close today

Tesla Forum—”Charging with 110v outlet”. Discussion of experience with wall outlet charging. Verdict is ‘not practical’ beyond short commute. Adds 2 to 3 miles range per hour of charging. Best use for wall outlet is to keep the battery warm and topped-up while parked during a cold overnight stop.
