Me neither. Range matters. Charging infrastructure matters more. Tesla has a coast-to-coast network of multi-bay >100kW charging stations. GM says that they have no intention of investing a dime in infrastructure. As a result, the CCS network will remain a cobbled-together system of poorly placed chargers for at least the remainder of the decade.
Yes, that is a great plan. And I hope that it happens like that. However, I don't have as high expectations as you do. Maybe my view is just jaded living in upstate NY versus you living in the Bay Area. Our President just told people that they should simply move out, and leave their homes behind.

Trump said:When you have an area that just isn't working like upper New York state, where people are getting very badly hurt, and then you'll have another area 500 miles away where you can't get people, I'm going to explain, you can leave. It's OK. Don't worry about your house.
But I digress.
VW's plan calls for filling in I-87 and I-90. We will see. I expect to see that happen sometime early in the next decade, not in this one. Assuming of course that the EV "revolution" doesn't ultimately fail to catch on.
