Not really. Most states don't have the revenue to throw endless $$$ at green projects to subsidize prices and infrastructure. Most states can barely afford to keep the roads drivable. The real issue is that EVs are too expensive and inconvenient. If they were better and cheaper, everyone would buy them.

Tell your Senators to stop throwing money at endless wars, and maybe your state could build more charging infrastructure. Anyway, don't want to get into politics

Doubtful. "Subsidy" has been stretched to mean just about anything these days.

But they surely receive billions in direct tax revenue from gasoline.

I laughed too. What a joke of a lie. South Carolina most certainly doesn't provide "billions in subsidies" to anybody.

You're certainly correct about that. I'm wondering how much how much of my tax dollars subsidize your state

If supercharger locations are any indication, it certainly doesn't appear to be enough.

We are saving the earth, according to you. Pay up and stop complaining.

States like Texas subsidize oil production heavily. And we'll pretend federally and globally it doesn't happen at all because it hurts your I heart gas stations argument badly.

Anyway talking about gas cars is super boring almost as boring as the cars back the thread topic.

I shouldn't have said that, my apologies. Couldn't help myself. But we definitely need to up it a bit 🤣

But I must say I’ve never seen any charging stations like the pics above. Never seen any with a cover and I’ve charged in Florida, Texas, Louisiana and Vegas. You’re living in EV capital.

those charging stations are gorgeous. There is one down the street at Petro-Canada station. It’s next to the dumpster where Wendy’s\Tim Hortons backs out to

Anyway I live the EV life, drive them everyday including trips, and I wouldn't have it any other way. And if I owned a Plaid, I would be in car heaven
