ultra ultra mega subsidized so from consumer's perspective, quite affordable in the short term

ive had a few conversations with ev owners because i was genuinely interested in their efficiency. some of them were like free charging station hawks, that could tell you which ones were free at different times. they had different tricks to get a free charge. most of them felt their green goals justified this behaivor and didnt understand that this would be impossible once the masses were using chargers. one person described this as free energy - "if only everyone cared enough to use free energy, we could save the world"
