Check your math. For example: 1 is not infinitely more than 0.

well technically . . .
If you had 1, then ended up with 2 that would be an increase of 1 (2 - 1) which given the original count of 1 is a 100% increase (1 divided by 1)
So if you had 0 and ended up with 1 , it's still an increase of 1 (1 - 0) but percentage wise is 1 divided by zero . . .

Seems disagreeing Rocky_H has trouble with math.
1 is not infinitely more than 0. 1 is exactly 1 more than 0.
>0 as in 1 is not infinitely more than 0.
1 is infinity% greater than 0.
Similarly, even a single Level 3 charging station over a large distance is immensely better than none.
Once we have more chargers, EV range will probably be much less of a thing.
Then you and your brother should be very aware market vary prices widely on top of labor and product thanks to Brandon and your democrats .
Is this even English? What are you saying?
You were being condescending telling people to "check your math", when you are the one who is getting the math incorrect. That's not a good look. Any increase over 0 does make it infinitely more. It's dividing by 0, which does make it infinity. That is how the math works.

0 + 1 = 1, not infinite more.
Sorry, "more" does not imply division. More means addition.
I can't believe we have to continue this off-topicness, but it needs to be done.
Let's look at another example. If there were 2 of something, and another 1 was added. There are now 3. Was the increase 1, or was it 50%? The answer is that it's not "or". It's both of those. The quantity increase was 1, and the ratio of the percentage increase was 50%. Those are both accurate, depending on which you want to look at.
So in what we have been talking about, one could mention the quantity increase of the number over 0, or the infinity % increase. Both are true. But you started off saying the infinity % increase wasn't real, and that's just not correct to deny that.
So both are correct. Can we be done with this now?
Please stop. If you feel that readers of this forum will benefit from the discussion, start a thread in the Off Topic section.

That is not what was the statement or the response. There was only "more". You are adding something that is not in the original statement. There was nothing said about percentage. Look up more in the dictionary. It doesn't say percentage.
- A greater number or quantity (of something).We're running out of napkins. I should have bought more.There isn't enough salt in this. You need to add more.
- An extra or additional quantity (of something). quotations ▼There aren't many people here yet, but more should be arriving soon.
Again, as defined by the dictionary, more means addition. It doesn't mean division, percentage, or multiplication as you think it means.
If someone says that any number is an infinite more than 0, that is incorrect.
If they say that any number is multiply infinite of 0 , then that would be correct or similarly: Any number greater than 0 is an infinite percent greater, than that is also correct.
