There is no possible way to build out an electric charging infrastructure that can come anywhere near that. Let's forget our aging electrical infrastructure can't even supply enough energy.

I can fill up an empty gas tank in under 5 minutes and drive about 400 miles. An electric vehicle takes over 30 minutes and can drive about 100 miles. That's a tough hurdle. And that's provided you don't need to wait for someone already using the charger. There is no possible way to build out an electric charging infrastructure that can come anywhere near that.

an Energy Department staffer tried parking a nonelectric vehicle by one of those working chargers to reserve a spot for the approaching secretary of energy.

Wait! A Fuck Joe Biden staffer was driving an electric car accompanied by many other cars, some of which were gasoline powered? No irony there! Then they prevent another car from using the charger? Must be nice to a co-criminal of the Fuck Joe Biden team. That really gives you the full electric experience. So how do I get someone to drive ahead of me to prevent some deplorable from charging before I arrive?

Oh! Drive a gasoline powered vehicle!
