    Completely unviable in the absence of a widespread and reliable charging infrastructure, which in the US exists only for Tesla, which are notoriously shitty and dangerous cars.

    If we really wanted to boost adoption in the us the usg would create a national standard using Tesla's dc fast charging as a template and build a shitload of nationalized charging infrastructure with an investment on par with the interstate highway program

    Of course our gov is morally bankrupt and incapable of doing anything good, so I am not holding my breath.

      Tesla's fast charging is already the new standard for charging in NA. However, it takes some time for the other manufacturers to start using it.
