Tesla uses a proprietary charger, if anything they are happy, their overall goal is to move the world to sustainable transportation, even if that means not everyone is driving a Tesla.

Zero, they will have to build zero "nuke" plants.

It will not be more harmful than oil.

Coincidentally it also means that all those people wanting to go to solar are SOL as well
Wait for electric rates to go up even MORE than they currently have as demand pushes/exceeds the limits of supply.....
Just wait until state/fed legislatures try to apply taxes to electric cars because of the decreased revenue due to lower utilization of liquid fuel sources
Oregon has already tried to go full retard on this by trying to track cars by GPS and taxing per mile driven........
Y'all dont want gov in your bedroom but are ok with Gov tracking everywhere you go?

EV's need to charge while people are asleep, not while they are awake cooking, doing laundry, etc. It is at that point when electric plants currently produce more power than there is demand for. Quit believing all that right wing BS, they are only servicing their own needs ($$$). Even if there were not environmental benefits to an EV I would still drive one, instant torque, low maintenance and NEVER having to stop at a gas station for fuel. My "gas station" is in my garage, I plug the car in at night, it starts charging at 11pm and in the morning it is ready to go.
