Hear Me Out: Instead of Faster Chargers, We Should Lobby for Slower Gas Pumps
12 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Tongue-in-cheek article argues that instead of demanding faster EV chargers, we should slow down gas pumps to equalize refueling times, while reducing evaporative emissions.

The piece uses satire to challenge perceptions and promote EV adoption.The Worrisome Trend of the eVTOL Business Model
