It's not about the charging stations. That's what the other commenter was talking about. He made foreign EVs prohibitively expensive and domestic companies are shitting the bed. So your choice is a domestic EV that has quality control problems and is still the cost of a high trim ICE car, or pay luxury car price just to get a competent EV.
Or you can buy a very reliable ICE car for half the price.
Thus he handcuffed the EV market by artificially subjecting it to monopoly forces. Now everyone is suddenly wondering what went wrong like we're all blind.
Not a whiff of truth to any of that.
Go read the IRA. Look up what's eligible for the rebates now versus before.
Go read the the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and catch up to reality.
Buddy they didn't reinstate the rebates.
