What has building roads and highways got to do with switching from gasoline to electric cars?



I thought you talked about physical infrastructure (roads and highways) needed for cars to ply on. After re-reading your comment I realised you are talking about infrastructure needed specifically for electric cars (like charging stations). My bad! Apologise for that!

Either ways, I don't see how the Government can help in this! Isn't this the prerogative of the companies manufacturing their EV to setup? The only place where Government can help is providing land and electric power for these charging stations. That should not be a big deal.

Maybe this was interpreted literally...?
