Which is why i keep repeating, the true challenge here is public charging and a) who is paying to install it b) who is paying to maintain it and c) who is paying to update it when in 5 years new charges shave 30% off the time to charge?

Thi sis way, way, way harder than building a battery powered car and seems to just not be a discussion point amongst EV evangelists. Again, this is why i see hybrids effectively winning the day.
