Well, EV infrastructure is the single biggest issue the United States has when it comes to EV's.
Simple fact is: we have more highways than anybody. It's a big, big, HUGE country.
To make matters worse, we still haven't standardized charging yet. If you're in a Tesla, and you see a Tesla charging station, then you know you're good. But if you see some other charging station, you basically have one chance in three of it being able to charge your car.
You don't pull into a gas station and find different sized hoses that may or may not allow you to put gas in your car. Here in the states, that's exactly how EV's are working right now.
And there's not nearly enough of them. Example: there's a Tesla charging station right down the road from me. It's over by the Mall of Georgia 5 miles from here. The next closest one is 30 miles away.
There are very few places in Georgia where you're more than 30 miles away from a gas station. But just about no matter where you are in Georgia, you're AT LEAST that far away from a charging station.
And when you consider the average commute to work in the metro Atlanta area is 36 miles one way...
Yeah. It's a pretty big problem.
