The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program is essential. But only $7 billion to build the interstate DC fast charging infrastructure is peanuts. But DC fast charging can become a very lucrative business. With high Capex and high fixed costs, the profits when crossing break-even can be huge. AFAIK no pure-play CPO (Charge Point Operator) is showing a profit. Tesla might be close on the network-operating part of the business. But the costs of extending the network are very large.

Similar kinds of sensational reality twisting recently happened in Norway. The online newspaper «Nettavisen» actively searched for BEV drivers having problems in the cold, hoping to get some negative scoop on Tesla.

Hi Steve. I wonder why car companies do not think of making embossed instructions for rental cars, perhaps attached to strategic points in the cars with zip ties or something. Maybe even yellow or orange printed detachable labels, anything. How hard could it be? Just something to explain the starting, gearshift, and charging/filling.
