Hi - I strongly disagree about EVs. I’ve driven them in Norway (best EV infrastructure in the world), plus France and New Zealand. EV infrastructure is simple to install - basically, it’s a license for selling electricity. Much cheap than gas, and where there is water, wind or solar power, the batteries are also good storage. (See the Ford 150).

So, building new EV capacity is not so hard. In Norway, most grocery stores have public chargers. Brilliant! Gas stations are catching on that they need EV chargers, as in the future that’s going to be their whole business.

But, the big argument for EVs is that they reduce fossil fuel consumption. The alternative is not a horse - it’s a gas guzzler. A carbon spewing threat to the future.

They could and can be cleaner and greener, but committing g to transition is one thing the US could do that will make the climate less hot and the city air more breathable. So - please reconsider and revise! (Check out Les Locketts great Medium Blog which follows EV developments).
