Short-sighted management. How to charge them is the buyer's problem. I have owned an EV for 5 years, works great for me in an urban setting. I knew what I was getting into, and wanted it as a daily driver to avoid all the maintenance issues with ICE vehicles (I have several).

I charge it at home, easy to do and is cheap. The few times I've charged it on the road I've found less than desirable. Either chargers are occupied, are expensive, or simply don't work. Am looking forward to getting an adapter and trying a Tesla charger. Rarely go over 100 miles from home in the EV (range is 226 miles), and use my ICE vehicles for long trips. But gas prices are sky high here in California, close to $6/gallon. I had problems getting my ICE cars to pass smog tests in order to get re-registered, and shop repairs expensive, which are reasons I got an EV. I like ICE cars but government is making it hard to keep them.
