If you live in Austin, there’s a $4.17/mo charge you can add to your bill for unlimited charging at Austin Energy-owned Level 2 chargers. They’re installed all over the city. Many people commenting here don’t live in Texas and are unaware of initiatives like this.

Is it really appropriate to use Austin as a proxy for the entire state?

Didn't Texas, the state, recently pass an exceptionally high EV registration tax that 100% exempts hybrids?

You're highlighting the results at the edge of federal funding that must be spent on these things. TFA is about grid-scale problems, the energy supplying these charging ports.

Do you know why that EV registration tax was passed?
