With the surge of electric vehicles (EVs) on the horizon, it's clear that our state is lagging in essential infrastructure development. If we truly aim to embrace the tourism potential that EVs can unlock, we must prioritize investments in charging stations and related amenities.
Of course South Dakota will adopt EVs much later than does the more advanced coasts. Yet, that belated SD adoption will follow the exponential S-curve. One thoughtful commentator notes coming batteries with 30% more range and that require 8 minutes to charge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oNP0frswGs
Taxpayer dollars must not subsidize electric vehicle charging stations. Private sector companies must be responsible for this process, just as gas stations have been private sector operators for decades.

What do you mean by “the more advanced coasts?”
Taxpayer dollars must not subsidize electric vehicle charging stations. Private sector companies must be responsible for this process, just as gas stations have been private sector operators for decades.
And you think gas isn’t subsidized?
Are gas station owners businesses government subsidized??
No, but the oil that produces the gas as well as the corn that produces the ethanol, both are.
Thanks Lanny; I spit out my coffee laughing.
We should probably stop subsidizing Farmers as well then
I might just start a new business in SF:
