I didn’t mean to ignite the whole political minefield.
Investing hundreds of billions propping up US auto, unions, and helping some wealthy people get into EVs is… short term thinking at best.
If we spent these billions installing solar powered charging stations, we’d all benefit for 20-30 years down the road. Rich, poor, union, non-union, US made car, foreign car… etc etc. We need about 10 times more charging stations for all these EVs one way or the other. Paying $7b to build infrastructure and $100 billion or more on cars that will rely on that infrastructure makes little sense.
