China’s absolutely chock full of EVs. The Nordic countries are about to ban gas.
There’s enough EVs out there right now that need the charging that with the rates go up they’ll still exist.

No we are not. The 2025 100% ev target in norway was always a target, and there was never talks of a ban on ice. Were somewhere at around 95-100% new sales being evs but you can still buy ice and wont be prevented from doing so atleast in the forseeable future. Rest of the world just went on assuming that it was talk of a ban. Its not. Well probably follow suit with whatever eu is doing when it comes to actual bans.
Yes, but this article is U.S. focused and highlighting the difficulties facing those companies specifically. It should really be titled to specify the U.S. charging industry.
There is huge international momentum behind electrification and the impact of Trump’s policies will be to cede our technological competitiveness in both vehicles and charging to China.
My point is that charging is forging a head elsewhere in the world. Unless he figures out a way to make electric car charging illegal it will continue to surge here because there’s already enough electric on the road to necessitate it.
See: trains
China and most European countries have high speed rail and well maintained networks.
USA has: one chonky boy pulling like 256 cars on a wonky track
Love that analogy.
I do worry your ‘256 cars’ is a little low.
Source: I overlook some tracks near America, which currently carries lots of untariffed American stuff.
Just add a fake exhaust and something that makes a car noise and you’ll have him fooled.
Tesla I’m sure will do fine. I’m not sure about the others who don’t have an in at the white house.
Fine, burn it to to ground rebuild it with a fucking mandatory charging and payment standard from the beginning.
Another example, cars, even EVs are unsustainable.
But the battle for public transportation has been fought and lost already.
Yikes who would downvote this comment? Pretty gross how many people love cars more than humanity and the planet.

Well, I did, and its not because I love cars and hate humanity/the planet. Its that this is such an irrelevant comment on the topic and is just looking to derail and invite argument that you yourself are perpetuating with your Strawman you posted here. I don’t downvote because I disagree with an opinion. I downvote when the posts are actively working against topical conversation to the thread.
That poster did the equivalent of going into a thread about threats to livestock and said “everyone should be a vegan”.
Oh, I downvoted you too, BTW.
I downvote for terribad writing, but I seem to be alone in that.
