    Infrastructure needs central backing, that’s not exactly controversial. Would you rather each individual company has to fund its own chargers and end up with a patchwork that only works for each brand individually (and probably change over time to not support older models). Thats how the railways initially developed in 19th century Britain and it was a horrible mess of privately owned incompatible gauges.

      Or maybe the government could take care of it themselves since the private sector can’t be bothered.

      I’d rather businesses that require government funding to operate to be owned by the government.
