The fact of the matter is electric cars take a long time to recharge. ESPECIALLY in the US in non teslas. Most of the chargers are either broken or are super slow.

So when you're sitting at a charger for 1-2 hours waiting for your car to charge enough to make it to your destination. What else are you going to do?
Good thing EV is being forced on a world that has no infrastructure and won't be able to sustain the power draw. Oh, you want to take a road trip? Better plan an extra 2-4 hours to sit on your ass. Want to replace/repair that battery down the road? 1/3 the cost of the new car, please.

Its all politically driven BS from people who have no idea of the cost to mine, manufacture, and dispose. Not the mention the ridiculous inefficiencies of the global network and the required NEW power stations we'll need (solar power and unicorn farts don't work).

Anyway, the sheep keep eating it up.
Yea, you're right. If you don't have a Tesla, charging is a complete disaster. Maybe it's different somewhere like in California. But in the Northeast US. It's more common than not that stations are broken, as slow as 110v or is incredibly shady areas.

And yea the whole green push is a weird thing. There are def pros and cons. But look at what's happening with gas. An announcement from opec that they are lowering production goals(which they aren't even coming close to) is an excuse to increase gas prices. Even though it has no impact at all on gas. And on top of that oil prices are super and lowering over the past week. But yet, gas prices are shooting up again.

Either way, this is a solution to EV cars waiting and it doesnt harm anything.
