"Those who cannot charge at home where they reside for some reason. These owners are good people who want to drive an EV, but they will rely on others to be able to charge their vehicle. Why should society help them?"

Uhh, what? So the 100k+ gas stations across the country are there to "help" ICE car owners, like some kind of charity? For an article that spends a lot of time calling people and ideas dumb, there are an awful lot of dumb assumptions in here, as well as absurd value judgments.

There are tens of millions of people who live in urban environments, many of whom may not have a reliable way to charge at home. There are also many reasons why a person may want to own an EV. There's nothing stupid about building a network of fast chargers to serve this market if folks are willing to pay (keep in mind, 98% of car owners today do not fuel up at home or work, they are very accustomed to driving to a station to refuel.)

Also get over yourself with your BS value judgments - you're not out there foraging for electrons, when you charge at home you're buying it from a utility company.
