    I always find the EV argument bizzare, that it’s either you can’t charge them in public or you can’t charge them at home. Even if you cannot charge it at home, it still is possible literally everywhere else. Plus you can plug it in into literally any wall outlet, even in the Americas where they only have 120 volts. The argument is mute, because literally every place ever has electricity. You don’t need your own power plant to charge your EV. A wall outlet you charge your phone from is sufficient. Plus, where I from, every bigger supermarket has at least two charging stations. It is possible to charge a vehicle from any wall outlet, be that public or private. Just like with a phone. Why not with cars? Add to that, most trips are less than 50 kilometers anyway, so there is also no range argument. Why stick to obsolete technologies if there’s a better alternative, a sovereign alternative.
