Easy to charge an EV too. Most folks most times it's right in the garage or driveway
Choice, ain't it grand?

Same as always...it was built for TT/BMX racing and I raced the snot out of it for about 7 years.Uh huh... And what did the "after" picture look like when it landed??
They still haven't fixed that buckled pavement on Piney Point Rd.?
The Bronco didn't look too bad. His back on the other hand....Uh huh... And what did the "after" picture look like when it landed??
Apartments have garages now? Most city folk don't have garages.Easy to charge an EV too. Most folks most times it's right in the garage or driveway

Question: Who is responsible for building those charging stations? The government let the free market build and maintain gas stations so I was wondering if that will be the case with electric charging stations too. Auto manufacturers were never required to build gas stations so why should they be required to build charging stations? Or are the taxpayers going to pay for them.

All private companies. Not sure what subsidies are available to them.
Should also add that retail outlets and tourist destinations also put small chargers up so as to be attractive to the customer.
That was a different jump. I sure wish someone had gotten that one on video.... I knew as soon as were airborne that i'd taken the jump all wrong (it was a brand new track) and recall thinking to myself as we started descending from tree-top height "I think this is really gonna hurt"It did hurt. A lot.
The Indian or Paki doc that reviewed the MRI of my lower back later, clucking about all the breakage (past and current), asked me: "So tell me about the accident".
Me: "Well you see... it wasn't really an accident. It was a bad landing from about 12 feet in the air after taking my race truck over a jump too fast"
Doc: [disgusting look on face and shaking his head]: "I think I be wasting my time telling you you not should be doing that"
Me: "Yep"
That said...it was the end of my racing career....I got more in to this kind of wheeling instead:
Cool. So all charging stations will function like gas pumps (multi-grades of gas plus diesel) and have the ability to charge at different rates for all EV's on the road (including Tesla)?

Pretty much. Charge rates from 3.3 kW Level 2 charging to 350 kW DC fast charging right now. Download the app to your phone to activate a particular vendor's kiosk. Some, but not all, accept credit cards at the kiosk.
So now I need a phone to refuel an EV? I don't need a phone to refuel my ICE vehicles. If I don't have a credit card with me I pay the guy in the booth cash. Same as charging stations?

There is no guy in a booth. No cash transactions. Have you even looked at one of the Tesla charge areas, like at Harris Teeter?
People want to make a one-to-one equiv to ICE vehicles and if they can't do something they used to, it's not acceptable. This is a new paradigm. Not going to be exactly the same. Most will charge at home anyway, try doing that with an ICE.
If people can't deal with the new tech, don't get an EV.

Then don't get one. We will have ICE through anyone on this threads expected lifespan.
As long as my tax money isn't supporting the infrastructure I can agree. Let the EV people pay for the EV charging stations.
With current laws all ICE vehicle sales will be banned by 2035 in California and Virginia. That doesn't sound like a voluntary change over. That's 12 years from now. I fully expect to still be around at least that long, even if it's out of spite.

I'd agree, but with the way EVs are being pushed by the government and the huge subsidies being handed out, very likely you already are paying something into them.
