    Updating California’s grid for EVs may cost up to $20 billion

    Or... hear me out... the legislators and energy companies could work together to come up with a demand limit API that EV chargers sold in the state would have to follow. The cheaper option would be to simply implement TOU pricing. Pricing signals work very well in Aus.

    EV fast-charging comes to condos and apartments

    I totally agree with this. However that is a metric shtton of people that use a lot of energy commuting. It seems to be a reasonable market to sell to and I do not understand the 'it doesn't work for everyone so give up' mindset.

    Lets be real here. EV's are terrible for the dealer model of sales. Their lifeblood is the servicing and EVs just require far less. Theres only so much you can mark up tyre replacements.

    Ah yes because companies love spending billions in research down paths proven to not work and the scientists employed only turn up for the paycheque knowing their work is pointless. I also love the victim blaming at the end as well, if you get it only you were lazy, fat, lonely.
