If the price is too high for you, don't use it. If enough folks do that, the price will come down.
Fair enough - what I'm worried about is the folks who don't yet have cars, perhaps in part because they have been led to believe the infrastructure is the key (because people keep saying that loudly at infrastructure rollout events) and it's prudent to wait for it.
Then, they might start doing the math on the pay-to-play infrastructure, and that doesn't pencil out - it ends up making EVs sound more expensive to operate than ICE vehicles, so they give up on the concept of an EV, or delay even more, not realizing or accepting that the infrastructure is not really needed in most cases. So orders lag, and manufacturers get skittish, and it all fizzles, for no reason. It's potentially catastrophic. It's simply way too soon to be (talking about) trying to make lots of money on electricity for cars that don't exist yet.
