In the West though, its a pipe dream to get everyone to agree and be able to afford to roll out that level of infrastructure all across a country.

Oh, we did that, with the IRA, and we, of course, gifted it to Elon Musk, after we paid to build it.

We didn't. Not what @NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip is suggesting, which is L1/L2 charging. L1/L2 is much slower but much cheaper EV charging infra to deploy

and we, of course, gifted it to Elon Musk, after we paid to build it.

Musk is a Nazi asshole, but Tesla only got less than 13% of those awards for DC fast charging deployments:

"Tesla has won almost 13 percent of all EV charging awards from the law" source

“Tesla has won almost 13 percent of all EV charging awards from the law”

So, we paid for it, built it, and gave 13% of it away to a neonazi, and the rest to billionaires? And that's... Better, somehow?

Giving less than 13% of the money to a Nazi is better than giving 100%, yes. Do you disagree?

It's still giving money to a Nazi....
