A stumbling block to widespread adoption of EVs is the lack of charging points in many areas. The auto industry is ready to throw in the towel on ICEs, but they run the risk of offering EVs with insufficient charge points. A textbook case for the government helping out until it is self-sustaining. Why the government got into helping airlines and road building (even though many of us would have been better off if they had build more rail lines instead of roads but never mind that argument).

Everyone is against what interferes with your own vision. You are extremely confused about why Musk said what he said. The reason is the he understands basic economics. You don’t. He took the position ALL subsidies should be cancelled. That isn’t a temporary position. He isn’t an idiot. He can clearly see things you can’t envision because of your dogma. For example, he understands that government is, about 100% of the time, the WORST entity in existence to carry out most jobs. He understood that to get government involved would vastly slow it all down. Same is text with “broadband”, a total joke of an initiative. They are the worst allocators of resources for essentially all work . Consider Healthcare.gov, a simplistic, very basic website. Ended up costing us around ten billion, about seven years ago. You could have picked good designers and as many good developers, and knocked it out in a year. Musk has a clear awareness that government is incompetent to handle the simplest of tasks. Look at the IT disaster of IRS. So fucked upmtney can’t figure out what to do with it. So Biden wants to here 87000 humans to do the job od a moderate sized data center. No, musk was right and there is a reason he was right. I wish he would suggest a contest between him and the bureaucrats. Same job, two places, same size, bids are due in thirty days. And watch what happens. It is the reason we elected Trump. Long history of getting shit done. With excellence.
