I agree, if the resource is out... there's nothing you can do but to go to another gas station. However, gasoline in winter weather, even if it's -30 degrees Fahrenheit, is still usable. You're still able to pump the fuel into your vehicle. Where as with these charging stations cold temperatures is a nemesis.

I have no beef with EVs, I just think we're putting the cart before the horse. Like building a house with no foundation, it's ludicrous.

I'm trying to say that eventually there won't BE another gas station, and we have to prepare for that. Progress isn't always a straight line, but I'd still rather be moving forward than digging our heels in with something we know we can't use forever.

Agreed.

You should act like it, then.
