US will need to build 478 EV charging ports EVERY DAY for the next eight years at a cost of $35B to meet demand for 1.2M public ports by 2030 (And that's not counting the 28M needed in homes!)

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] America would have to install 30 million electronic vehicle charging ports by 2030 if half of drivers switch to EVs by the time California's ban on gas cars takes effect.

If half of all vehicles sold are zero-emission by 2030, the country would need 1.2 million public chargers and 28 million private chargers by that year - which a McKinsey report claims would cost more than $35 billion over eight years.

Electric vehicle sales have been climbing by double digits each year since 2016, but over half of US consumers cite battery or charging issues as their main concerns - and it's fair to say the limited network of public charging stations is a roadblock for many buyers.

The country has over 128,000 public EV charging outlets and at least 4,500 private charging stations - in comparison with about 150,000 gas stations - and faces a daunting task in trying to build out for its needs.

#4 The wire to connect to the grid infrastructure including power generation and/or diesel generators including additional diesel refinery.

Although I appreciate one of the largest pro-green propaganda sites pointing out a taste of the real issue at hand, I do not think 'daunting' is a strong enough word.
