Public chargers have two huge advantages:
The result of building them will be to shift some amount of transport away from burning fossil fuels.
These are both edge cases and shouldn’t be the focus of policy. Straight up. Its a complete mistake to prioritize these as investments.
We have a grid, the VAST majority of electric car owners have access to outlets, we should be focusing on grid level storage, not charging networks.
A third of Americans rent their home, that’s not an edge case.
Renting a home means you have access to a wall socket.
Yes, those are edge cases.
You’re out of touch, not just with where we are, but where we need to be.
Adding to charging networks is a waste of resources. We need battery storage at grid level. It’s more important and a higher priority.
by public, you mean like a gas station? a private business that serves the public
or do you mean public like the interstate system is public? a public service funded by taxes
More like gas stations and toll roads. They’re not providing free-as-in-beer electricity
