Right, that's the point I make on another forum.

The idea is to not use public charging, and for those gluttons for punishment that insist on doing long road-trips in an EV, who cares if it costs even $0.50/kWh when you only do it a couple times a year.

Charging infrastructure is a money loser at the moment, and so far I don't see how to change that. Maybe they need to increase the cost, but then people complain that it approaches the cost per mile for gasoline.
