EVs are getting larger batteries (the Bolt has a range of 238 miles, and recent low-end EVs now go over 100 miles), so that part is sorted.
Trying to understand your position.
Are you opposed to POCOs competing with oil companies for the energy market? (Presumably not, competition is good.)
Are you opposed to POCOs trying to increase usage of their grid during off-peak hours for some reason? (Presumably not; we got into this discussion by looking for ways to avoid increasing electric rates as the customer base gets more efficient.)
Or do you think that it's not cost-effective for them to do it by trying to jump-start ev sales? That's the bet they're making -- that this is going to save them money in the long run.
