> Gas stations are built without our tax dollars

Are they? They need fuel to sell. Where does that come from: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/nov/15/climate-change...

> Imagine a future where we wait for our government-mandated chargers to charge

This is infrastructure building. Canada's got the right idea here. Build roads, build chargers. Makes sense.



You're comparing charging stations to gas. A more logical comparison would be electricity in charging stations vs gas in gas stations.


It's all part of the same system. What use is a gas station without gasoline?

Do you want $3.3 billion going to fuel subsidies or do you want $8 million going to EV chargers. If you're interested in a smaller government spend, you want to pick the EV chargers.


That’s what I though too. 8 million is peanuts for Canadian government. Even for the provincial one. I think it’s more a PR move.
