The real problem I see with EV infrastructure is that public financing of 21st century infrastructure is almost a non-starter with conservatives. Every highway in the country could be viable for DC-FC travel with the right support. In comparison to the cost of the highway itself not already having a plan in place is almost ridiculous. I'm not saying I want Cal Trans maintaining the WCEH, but having eminent domain and more money than any private business should make implementing it very straight forward and quick. A slow roll out makes breaking the Chicken/Egg Paradox more difficult.


I would suggest leasing sections of the network to private businesses in a similar way to how UK light rail is operated.


I don't understand why the State doesn't want to focus hydrogen subsidies on the commercial truck sector that might actually be able to save money using hydrogen. No one will ever save money driving a hydrogen car versus a Prius. The fact that a 30,000 lb truck would need a FC stack only slightly larger than the Mirai gets widely ignored.
