There are lots of solutions that don’t involve public chargers. If we have a public charging infrastructure then who maintains it? We all know that finding functioning chargers is already an issue. Tesla has a vested interest in maintaining theirs.

The article is about the UK, not the US. It's a little different there. 2. Why not? I mean, suppose - I know it's crazy, but just suppose - that we had a government that hadn't been neatly pocketed by oil companies, and that it actually thought EVs were a good idea. Imagine, as far-fetched as it seems, that the US government actually gave a bloody damn how much CO2 this profligate nation of ours blasts into the atmosphere of this dying earth, with our ludicrous 5000lb shiny, empty, air- conditioned leather-seated pickup trucks driven to soft-hands office jobs. Or imagine that the government at least went through the motions as if they did. You know, kind of like what every western European government does. In that case, why not? And don't give me the standard boilerplate propaganda about how government can't do anything right, because that's BS and I don't buy it. Why not? Ever live in a town with a municipal electric power plant, with good service and low costs? If private business can't or won't do public charging right, why shouldn't government build publc charging points?
