They seem to assume all of that government oversight is a good thing. That's subjective. Guess there's a reason my state is a zero. Thank God.

Policies drive strategy, adoption and equally, inaction. Unless you think the current state of affairs with petro subsidisation is a level playing field and enjoy lines at chargers and regularly getting 'ided', having a higher score is definitely where you want to be.

That is interesting. A state for everyone.
One in six new vehicle registrations in my zip code is an EV.

0 means your state probably doesn't allow direct sales. Seems like government oversight to me....

What a refreshing take.
“You do you” is what I tell most people. (So long as you aren’t harming someone else).

Not necessarily. For example, “charging infrastructure” is a category that has little to do with government oversight, though government incentives can help bring the state into the future.

A 0 may not be something to be quite as proud of as a small single digit. Just a thought.
