Yes, but this article is U.S. focused and highlighting the difficulties facing those companies specifically. It should really be titled to specify the U.S. charging industry.
There is huge international momentum behind electrification and the impact of Trump's policies will be to cede our technological competitiveness in both vehicles and charging to China.
My point is that charging is forging a head elsewhere in the world. Unless he figures out a way to make electric car charging illegal it will continue to surge here because there's already enough electric on the road to necessitate it.
See: trains
China and most European countries have high speed rail and well maintained networks.
USA has: one chonky boy pulling like 256 cars on a wonky track
Love that analogy.
I do worry your '256 cars' is a little low.
Source: I overlook some tracks near America, which currently carries lots of untariffed American stuff.
