    It's because the traditional car companies weren't in the fuel business, so couldn't conceive they might have to expand into it to actually support an alternative to oil. It's the reason Toyota, GM, and others gave for not spending their own money on hydrogen stations and chargers. GM might be coming around on the chargers. The biggest expansion of non-Tesla chargers is actually a fine VW is paying.

    You have to remember big auto didn't really want bevs. Chinese companies and Tesla did. Since there was a need of stations tesla built them. The epa is no longer run by coal lobbyists so the federal government can actually build this infrastructure. That was part of the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

    Plug-in charging is a lot cheaper than military weapons to protect foreign oil.
