With you here. I think ultimately EVs will be the better choice for nearly all consumers. We are past the early adopter stage but it isn’t mature. Of course if you track ICE through the last 40 years it didn’t really reach maturity until maybe 5 or 6 years ago.
Totally agree there should be no subsidies for buying an EV or subsidies for charging infrastructure. But I do believe the technology needs to stand on its own. And I believe it will.
