This is anecdotal, but when people talk about EVs, their three biggest concerns are vehicle price, range anxiety, and cost of fuel.
The purchase price will come down as more used vehicles get off leases or if Chinese imports enter the market. Range anxiety is mitigated when there are charging stations at regular intervals.
But fuel cost is variable. Tesla made charging free for the first few years of existence. VW and related models include a moderate amount of Electrify America L3 charging in their pricing. That reduces operating cost anxiety. There’s also an upfront cost for setting up L2 home charging. If that can be reduced or mitigated, it would help.
Would that work? No gas station has a pricing plan like that.
