How interesting! The shift to EV automobility has a long way to go. Will the adoption of the EV just attenuate the divide into the two Americas? Money is now flowing for the development of this "2nd Interstate Highway System." In the very long run, how will the establishment of fast charging stations lead to population shifts and demographic changes? Will consumers want to wait 40 minutes or stand in a queue? Will Internal Combustion Engine powered cars "gas and go." Will the new stations feature food, perhaps some entertainment, and other ways to kill time while waiting. What about the communities passed by? It sure looks like an East Coast/ West Coast phenomenon with the exception of Texas, at least in early stages of development. Can the electric grid keep up with the highways?
China is going to build more coal electric plants. Nuclear takes a decade or more to build. We need a parallel rush to build nuclear plants, in my opinion, to get prepared for 2040.
