Explicit subsidies accounted for only 8 percent of the total. The remaining 92 percent were implicit subsidies, which took the form of tax breaks or, to a much larger degree, health and environmental damages that were not priced into the cost of fossil fuels, according to the analysis. So not

In Ohio they classify the Chevy Volt as an EV which means I have to pay an extra $200 every year to update my registration.  If I drive on gasoline only I would have to go 25,000 miles to equate to the $200 extra fee.  They are definitely penalizing the EV driver! On Saturday, February 12,

I would agree that there would only be a modest amount of congestion “at this time”. But BEVs will be flooding the market over the next few years, and that will be short-lived. Can they expand the network quick enough, while maintaining the same level of performance, reliability, etc?

For the charger funding issue: In Europe, Tesla has opened a few charging locations to non-Tesla vehicles. If that trend continues and comes to the USA, it could be that Tesla might then be eligible for federal infrastructure funding. Part of the issue is competing standards. It's easier to
