In every past infrastructure shift, the winners weren't the ones who moved fastest.
They were the ones who figured out how to get the most people building at once.
That's still true for energy infrastructure. It'll still be true in five years.
The most overlooked stat in EV adoption: utilization rate of existing chargers.
A city can have hundreds of chargers and still feel "underserved" if they're poorly located, frequently down, or clustered in the wrong neighborhoods.
Count matters less than placement.
Nobody asks "is gasoline infrastructure ready" anymore because it's just... there. Everywhere. Assumed.
That's the actual end state for EV charging too. The goal isn't more headlines about chargers.
The goal is chargers becoming boring and invisible, the way gas stations are.
Myth: EVs are bad for road trips.
Reality: EVs are bad for road trips in places where charging infrastructure hasn't caught up yet. That's a location problem, not a technology problem.
The car was never the bottleneck.
