It's gonna be hilarious when all the new EV buyers find out about the broken chargers and start fighting over the few that work (chargers are backed up against a wall so "waiting in line" doesn't work). My prediction is we'll see massive drops in car trips due to range anxiety. Will be interesting to see the second and third order effects. Maybe public transit will make a comeback, and automakers will stay afloat with more government handouts trying to juice an EV revolution.

Cities are gonna be littered with aging cars in a few years since there are virtually no chargers in cities with street parking. Conversely, no mechanics in the country know how to work on EVs. EVs only work in the suburbs.
