Just yesterday I recorded an incredible conversation with the archivist from Ford, formerly of Coca-Cola, about the history of fueling infrastructure in this country and let me just say... when you listen to that conversation, you'll understand why we haven't cracked the code on EV charging yet.

The short version is: if you're building fueling stations in order to be in the actual fueling business, you're not gonna make it. Until we see more EV chargers subsidized by other, more profitable businesses, the economics are unlikely to justify the kind of investment in build-out we need to see.

All electric vehicles should create a standard battery for each weight class and make the batteries so they can be easily swapped out. We can then have swapping stations. The government should help fund these stations.

There are two camps here: One understands what basic-ass AC charging can do and that overnight charging takes care of all local needs full stop. That's me, wishing we focused on this. The other imagines EVs getting used like ICE vehicles, and pulls the trigger assuming this makes sense.

The fact that more gas stations along interstates and other major highways haven’t installed chargers baffles me. They’re stuck there for at least twenty minutes! Literal captive customers!
