[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The infrastructure bill passed last fall contains $7.5 billion (yes, that’s billion) to help states build out the charging infrastructure. States are now in the proposal stage, so we won’t see this happen for a few more years. The good news is that many states are coordinating so that, for example, you won’t see chargers within 30 feet of each side of the state border, but instead you’ll see them spread 30-50 miles apart.

I don't think the electricity grids are ready for this.  Think about the brown outs in TX and CA.  What happens if there are power outs due to storms?[/quote]

Ummm you can't use gas pumps either if the grid goes down. [b]Stations will have backup generators, but once they go you can't pump [/b]because they too require electricity.

Look,.EVs require more elbow grease for now.  But it will improve.  Gas is now $5/gallon and at a the mercy of all sorts of geopolitical crap  in an increasingly hostile world.[/quote]

If only gas stations had access to fuel to run their generators…

There are different types of fuel. What you put in your car isn’t the same as what you put in generators. [/quote]

AND there are different generators for the different types of fuel, including both gasoline and diesel. Or natural gas, which we use for our generator.

Lots of options for gas stations - if they plan ahead.

The long-term question is if the trucks can still deliver. Probably somewhere in the whole supply chain something will go wrong during a massive power failure.
