That would require accepting anyone as a refugee from the US, and that is extremely unlikely to happen, ever.

Yeah. It's not like the majority of North American towns are going to have the budget for this, and the higher levels of government don't give two shits, so it would be falling on the homeowners to get it installed.

I doubt that fast charging will ever be a thing in residential settings, regardless of what kind of grid upgrades they do. That kind of DC voltage will kill too many diy type homeowners.

I seriously doubt that will happen. The current administration has shown zero indication that they give two fucks about what the people want.

The grid as a whole will need upgrading as demand increases, but it is in no way an obstacle to people getting charging at home.

What difference does it make?

That sort of 'happenstance education' can shape your ideas for the rest of your life.

That's just how life works. That's how it worked before the Internet was even a thing.

Of all the places online, Tiktok is the last place I would ever go for serious advice on anything.

Yup. It's not the price of the car that prevents me personally from buying electric, it's the fact that I live in a condo and have no way to charge at home. Combine that with the fact that I do 6 hour+ drives on a fairly regular basis, and charging infrastructure concerns are the biggest thing keeping in a gas powered car.

Depending on what your job is, you may never even meet the rich person you work for.

If you want to play the blame game, the blame falls on everyone. The right is pushing to make things actively worse, the center is willing to just put up with whatever the current status quo is, and the left would rather spend all their time attacking one another for being the wrong brand of left, rather than actually go out and do something productive.

Because why worry about something that isn't going to happen?
