There are some facts in the article, but some misinformation as well. > This month, the California Energy Commission estimated the state will need 1.3 million new public EV chargers by 2030. The likely cost to ratepayers: about $13 billion. Taxpayers do not fund most EV chargers. Most of them are installed by private companies like EVGo and Chargepoint, who then make money by charging people to charge their cars. Even the chargers that are funded with taxes charge users to recoup the costs. > Lower-income Americans are facing huge electric rate increases for grid upgrades to accommodate EVs even though they will probably never own one. If every single passenger car in the United States were converted to electricity, we would need about 350,000,000 MWh more electricity. The US has a generation capacity of about 10,512,000,000 MWh per year currently, yet we only consume about about 40% of that annually. We're good. > Let’s amplify that last point: reliance on electric vehicles will put our future squarely in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. That's not inevitable. It's only true because the US stopped producing rare earths.
