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?
