1 megawatt connection is not question of some paperwork and permits, but massive underlying infrastructure. And that infrastructure is simply not there.

If EVs use diesel generators and coal, they are not zero emmisions. In fact ICEs produce less CO2 emmisions, if you count energy losses from charging, battery production etc...

It is another Enron waiting to happen!

That’s why it takes time to build the infrastructure, that’s my point.

It’s taken time to build all the other infrastructure, why do we think that a whole new transport infrastructure across all the states should just magically appear in 2 years.
