      this is true and it’s a fact that most people do just drive a bit and return home each day

        When it comes to building DC chargers, the relevant question is “does anybody ever drive more than 100 miles from home in this area?”

        Even if 99% of your trips are near home, you still need DC chargers for the rest.

          Maybe I’m out of the loop! Figured they’d phase it in. Something like:

          • 1 transition fleets - buses, local delivery
          • 2 people commuting in town to and from work on the daily
          • 3 long haul interstate trucking

          When the plan is everyone gets 100% coverage, you’re absolutely right. We’ll need chargers every 50 miles
