long-range electric car and all unicorns live in utopia.
Are taxpayers funding any of this (directly or indirectly)?
Until they massively upgrade the power grid, at huge expense and time, it is only a pipe dream.
Refitting and redesigning the power grid will take decades and hundreds of billions of dollars and no one has started budgeting for it or building new power plants. To the contrary they are fighting any expansion.
BTW, wind and solar will not cut it.
The long-range electric car is already a fact. Tesla already could be highly profitable with its current sales of super-high-end luxury cars. The would-be profits are being used to invest in a business plan 40 times larger, however.
