    In the West though, its a pipe dream to get everyone to agree and be able to afford to roll out that level of infrastructure all across a country.

    Oh, we did that, with the IRA, and we, of course, gifted it to Elon Musk, after we paid to build it.

      We didn’t. Not what @NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip is suggesting, which is L1/L2 charging. L1/L2 is much slower but much cheaper EV charging infra to deploy

      and we, of course, gifted it to Elon Musk, after we paid to build it.

      Musk is a Nazi asshole, but Tesla only got less than 13% of those awards for DC fast charging deployments:

      “Tesla has won almost 13 percent of all EV charging awards from the law” source

        So, we paid for it, built it, and gave 13% of it away to a neonazi, and the rest to billionaires? And that’s… Better, somehow?

          Giving less than 13% of the money to a Nazi is better than giving 100%, yes. Do you disagree?
