Agree that any good survey/analysis firm knows what people SAY + what they really do can differ a great deal. While @thinkescalent results on adapter willingness are cautiously promising, I'm not popping the champagne cork til we see if it's borne out by real-world #EV drivers.

Clip from the most recent episode with Loren McDonald of @EVAdoptionTweet. Here we're discussing how the slow rollout of NEVI funds to install public fast chargers has only helped @Tesla lead in total DCFC installations. Great discussion and just one part in our 90+ min. convo about all things EV charging!
