At this point, I'm just curious to know where you live that makes you think that sidewalks have power outlets.

Here’s an article with pictures of a made up fantasy land where there are cars on a street and electricity on the street and the cars are somehow charging and whaaaaaaaaat https://www.motoringresearch.com/car-news/government-electric-car-street-funding/

Just in case you didnt read the article you linked. It says, "Research indicates that one of the main hurdles to EV adoption in the eyes of car buyers is adequate charging infrastructure."

Hahaha

Haha. That's great. That is some great infrastructure, which I hope is built soon, but which currently exists almost nowhere.

Yeah it would be like putting up giant wooden poles all over the country and wires running between them to somehow service hundreds of millions of individual homes, residences and buildings level impossible to get that kind of thing built. I guess we’ll never see it in our lifetimes. Time for you to fuck off now.

I never even implied anything like that. Don't try to straw man me just because you're saying silly things.
