I don’t think they really care if drivers get stranded with no where to refuel. The oil industry is still very powerful and won’t go anywhere until the earth collapses. Any action against these cars or EVs in general will likely be a result of massive donations (or the threat of withholding them) and everything else will be theater or just a parallel goal.

So they'll just preempt any growth of ev infrastructure by strangling it in the crib. Very ruthless but, not surprising if I think about it a bit.

If it’s any consolation, overproducing EVs and having everyone signing 3 year leases isn’t really much of a mitigation technique.

We need to figure out how to produce less vehicles in general, or at least try to keep old vehicles in circulation longer.
