Are you saying there's a government charging network??
I don't think any chargers were installed under the government scheme as yet, and the current non Tesla chargers seem to have serious reliability problems.

What's the government scheme? I'm not familiar with that.

No way we see an electric wrangler before solide state batteries… the range would be abysmal. I get 30-35 km from the same battery pack as my neighbors rav4 and he gets 65 km. Do the math.

My father in law just bought a new Volvo high bred and said he charges the vehicle at night when the electricity rates are lower; but even at the lower rate gas prices here in California would have to drop to $3 a gallon to break even. Just wait and see what the cost of electricity will be when you have a million cars on a charger. In Beijing China to solve the problem (I have visited there many time) you can only drive your vehicle every other day. Coming to a city near you and soon!

So now if this is going to be set up pretty much like a train with the ICE spinning a charger would that finally make it okay to get a set of train horns?

How is that policy enforced?
Ha, maybe they use the last digit of the license plate, if it's even or odd, to match the calendar day, even or odd. Don't get caught out and about on the wrong day!
