And then the the management company that controls the shared chargers can charge rates that are even higher than the vastly inflated costs at public chargers, as they know the users will pay for the convenience of charging at home :(

This isn't the nice future we were promised, with clean electric cars and plentiful renewable energy. This is the future of late-stage capitalism and the enshittification of everything.

I’d like to think governments would serve the interests of the people but in my experience it’s just been they serve the interests of the corporations.

FYI I’ve only lived in the UK and the USA, both of which are living far below their potential
