Compare it to ICE - fueled in a minute and you can then pay by card or cash. No applications required.
Today ROI on a child is always negative. Members of modern society have no rational reasons to have children and I think most people innately know it but are unable to put their finger on it.
That then leads to bizarre situations when Russia is waging full scale war and Russians are doing their best not to notice.

Sure it won't be a problem that details about such space intelligence network satellites could get to targeted entities....
If end user does not care about these moral high grounds, then yes it is a bad thing for business.
> You: so I don’t see the value of you cherry picking a cheaper car, it’s just going to be a race to the bottom
That's how mass market works. People will always want cheap stuff. Not expensive. Not average. Cheap. Pretending that Model 3 is cheap compared to cheap ICE is delusional.
The whole problem with BEV infrastructure is that it currently makes no economical sense. Otherwise responsible people would be taking care for maintenance and expansion without governmental handouts.
Build a new city? That's not going to work.
I don't think that it has a solution. Governments are trying to solve parking for decades and still no solution in sight. If you don't have where to park, you don't have where to charge.
However 50% of people in EU does not have home charging (i.e. living in apartments) therefore they won't see your savings but they will see the wasted time on public chargers.
It is not really obvious path when people in Europe are not buying BEVs unless there is some serious subsidy on it.
