On top of that, the legislation only requires “at least one charger per station needs to be working more than 97 percent of the time—and that they will limit their impact on the electric grid.” How are they going to limit impact on the electric grid? They won't. Power companies will need an estimated $5,800 in upgrades for every new EV for the next eight years in order to compensate for the demand for power. Right now there are about 20 million American families who are behind in their electric bills.
It appears sensible people do still exist
