Maybe that's the US thing? In my country I'm not aware of any subsidies towards oil companies, on the contrary, more than a half of retail gas price is taxes.

Only because they know Chinese EV will take 100% of the market if they do not come up with cheaper EV.

The opposite. Chinese EVs are dumping because China's economy is collapsing, forcing them to dump prices because there's not enough Chinese demand. China is now exporting all of their excess inventory to Europe and beginning to make plans to export all this inventory to the USA. And USA is rejecting it. China has overbuilt their EV market, and continues to over-invest and builld too many EVs. USA is already pissed of…

They're not dumping EVs. They're charging significantly more outside of China than in. Ar you just making shit up here? Sounds to me like you don't have a clue about this market. Compare BYD in China and Australia for example.

i've driven electric (bmw) since 2014; charging at home at 120v overnight was always adequate if driving less than about 70 miles the following day. if i had to drive more, an hour on a 240v L2 charger would cover it. there's a HUGE amount of fear-uncertainty-doubt in the news which looks conspicuously like propaganda, and one can guess where it originates. it sure doesn't originate in those of us nerds who are 10 ye…

The question was aimed at a person with no charger at home who relied on a charger at work. I don’t have a home to charge at and don’t want to risk relying on a company
