I agree. I also think they don't get used much so a big waste of money. They need to put them on Highway routes between cities. Or just subsidize gas stations to install them

We don’t drive electric cars, so why should we be penalized for those who do? California wants everyone to drive an electric car, but then complains when those electric vehicles produce no gas taxes. It is bad enough that they want to charge mileage for using your car; now we are penalized on our electric bill. We are very conservative in our household with water, electric, gas and the like because we are on a budget. I strongly oppose being billed for energy that is going to someone else’s car. Let those who use electric vehicles pay for the electric charging stations. Put it on their utility bill, not mine. I was born in California but, frankly, I am sick and tired of being gouged because of others. No one gets to vote on this? What has happened to our once-wonderful state? -Beverly Ulvan Irvine [CA] • • • As ably pointed out by Peter Ferrara (“We’ll all pay to charge others’ electric cars,” Opinion, Feb. 4), California’s middle class is once again getting the short end of the stick. The billionaires and millionaires who buy electric cars like Tesla and Fisker are subsidized by the taxpayers through government grants to the companies and subsidies to purchasers. Now the middle class is being asked to pay for the billionaires and millionaires to charge their cars. All this compliments of the progressive Democrats running this state. It makes one wonder where Bernie Sanders stands on this issue. -Robert Helfand Laguna Niguel [CA] ...
