  3. This is more of an automaker driven change than it is a government mandated change. The government is doing things to take advantage of the shift by forcing manufacture (jobs) to be in the US and supporting the buildout of the infrastructure, just like it did with the buildout of the Interstate system in the ‘50s.
Really? What a fantastic co-incidence the gov't is abetting these automotive decisions to go all EV.

It's not a gov't mandate, but it might as well be. Ban ICE sales, a stated policy to end fossil fuel use and save the planet mantra all just dove-tails with the automaker's foresight to go all EV...lol..
Building out infrastructure similar to the 50's is hardly a parallel. They are creating a crisis that didn't previously exist, with massive deficit spending and subsidies on solutions that aren't needed.
