    There doesn’t seem to be much of push to get infrastructure like charging stations in place

    Is this code for taxpayer handouts to private businesses so they can maximize profit off of customers?

    This isn’t the way forward and it’ll likely take government incentives to make it happen.

    There it is!

      Can you name a single industry that wasn’t created off the back of government investment? This isn’t about handing money to private companies, it’s about getting the shit we need to comply with the laws that are being set. I’d fully support private industry funding the entire thing but what evidence is there that they’d actually do it? They haven’t over the last decade outside of Tesla, so what’s going to change that now?
