The issue here really is ERCOT.
IncorrectThe issue is lack of infrastructure able to provide for EV's.
Which is happening ALL over, not just TX.
Next issue to be dealt with is the
LACK of EV's paying road tax.
(Before the cape pops out,
Some States have applied a type of road tax for EV's,
but that, is a fraction of what it costs for a petrol machine.
And most of it is eaten up by the extra cost of implantation)You drive a petrol machine over the road,
you pay to keep the road,
a road, not a rutted dirt track.
You drive a EV,
the Petrol Vehicle pays 99% of the road tax.
You drive a Pedal/bike powered unit,
the Petrol Vehicle pays 99.8%,
of the cost
to make dedicated 'bike' lanes in certain areas.
Today, the EV's pay a teeny, tiny, minuscule, amount,
for the SAME usage of something,
someone else pays the Lions Share for.
When does the infrastructure needed for EV's grow,
along with the amount of EV's on the road ?
When does the fair share cost for repair/construction of roads,
fall on the shoulders of the EV users,
instead of the Pietro users.
Bot, how do propose to do that ?
Or just do what the Butt F-ucker does.

while the Gas guzzler SUV's,
follow him !
