EV's are one thing but what really needs the investment is the infrastructure. I hope the Taycan is wildly successful (and I heard today that Porsche's CEO has already stated they are increasing their production numbers based on strong pre-orders) and that it and other vehicles like it will spur spending and development of an EV friendly grid.
We had 220v outlets installed in the garage when we built it in anticipation of an eventual electric or hybrid vehicle but even if we had one now we're rural enough that it still might be an issue in terms of range and charger availability depending on where we were going.
I look forward to the day when EV's are prevalent enough that even small towns and rural areas will have charging stations just like we have mom and pop gas stations now.
