Is the USA ready for EVs? One estimate said there are 10 million on the road today. Either the USA is ready for 10M EVs or there are 10M customers with very heavy, immovable statues in their garages.
Is the US infrastructure robust enough today to support thousands more EV charging stations? Probably not. Will it ever be? Yes, but when that will be and what it will look like is unknown. Who knows how many EVs can the US support with its current infrastructure? We may find out soon.

The other issue is at what point is a charging station profitable, current gas stations are built because they expect to make a profit. Private business is not going to build charging stations for the good of the people and lose money. And it should not be up to the government to build charging stations on taxpayer money!
