when he was in the UK in Feb. There, the petrol stations have to provide EV charging too. I think it’s an ongoing process and I know not all stations have EV chargers yet. So why isn’t that the same here? Because, of course, our petroleum companies don’t want to make life easy for EV car owners. It’s always money before consumers.

Ok, Linda. It’s not just money. Its about the HUGE physicality of the United States. The vast majority of our country is rural (physically, not population). Think of all the northern plains in the dakotas and in nebraska & wyoming, with not many people in the area. Or the dry deserts of utah, nevada, arizona, new mexico that are void of people. Or Oklahoma and texas areas. Our country - when you look at it from a landmass view is predominantly rural; where running EV doesnt make any sense to the consumers, unless for local trips in town.

we are in those areas. actually thinking about an ev for in town use. (they look so cool!) but forcing all stations in the US to have a charging station does not make sense, unlike the compacted UK. so just another view point when you asked “why not here?”
