So do laws that make developers put in charging stations in any garage spaces

Another thing that the fleet switch to EV means is...a lot of gas station, oil change places, repair shops will cease to exist, which has a jobs implication of course but also will free up a lot of urban land for housing/parks/charging stations

As this fuel cost per mile calculator shows, it costs on average half as much to drive an EV car. And THEN you have all the repair savings and greater longevity energy.gov/eere/electricvehi…

As this article shows, switching our personal and public transit to electric not only saves money, and slashes emissions, but also saves on health costs related to exhaust

In part because there are so many fewer visits to dealers for parts and repairs and even just annual tune-ups

Folks have range anxiety but...EVs can now do btwn 150 to 300 miles per charge, and fast charging stations can fully charge in an hour. ICE cars do at or somewhat better than that top end, at present. Still in many places, some planning makes this doable even for long commutes.

Also I don’t think people realize how prevalent charging stations are already becoming in some areas. These red dots big and small represent those within a few blocks of me

There are charging stations along the interstates and at rest stops. Malls and shopping centers in SoCal are putting in free ones that ALSO give you premium parking spots. Ditto Kaiser and other health care parking facilities and public parking garages.

So imagine you don't have a garage/street park, but you go to the store once or twice a week while you shop and charge there. Now, for some, this is still a challenge. But that's why we need to pass laws and zoning requirements mandating ubiquity.

But there are already charging stations in pretty remote places. Herein: Yosemite, Yellowstone, Marfa TX, Duluth MN
