In theory, the government is elected by the public. Not a given these days, I know.

I'd be okay with the govt owning shares, honestly. That way the public would get a voice in how these megacorps operate, and that voice would get bigger the larger the company becomes.
I know, me too... And to add the icing on the cake, it broke like 2 weeks ago just 6 months outside warranty (red light & beeping). I'm installing a Tesla Universal Wall Connector instead.
Funnily enough, I don't think I've seen one of those yet
Oh yeah I'm sure prices are a big part of it, my question is about how they manage it I guess.
In Québec, Canada. EVs are relatively popular here, as we have a very good public charging network (Electric Circuit), we get $12k off most EVs at purchase (not a tax credit, $5k from the federal govt, $7k from the provincial govt) and $600 for home charging equipment. Our electricity is also pretty cheap and 99.9% green (Hydro).
Looks like Chevy is doing something right with their EVs, because the Blazer and Equinox have been for sale for what, 6 months? And already I see at least one of them almost every day. I feel like there are more on the road around me than there are Mach-Es or F-150 Lightnings, which have been for sale for much longer.
My firefighter neighbour told me that the procedure now is just to let them burn, like they do with gasoline fires. They make sure it doesn't spread, but they won't try to extinguish it because it'd take 10-12 hours and thousands of gallons. By just letting it burn they're done in an hour with a few hundred gallons.
Hay is basically cut grass, straw is the part leftover from harvesting wheat and taking the seeds. Both are baled, but they're used for different things. Hay is food for any animals that eat grass like horses and cows, buy straw is not edible so it's used as bedding.
Says right in the article that the rate is 9%, and they give up a 10% stake in the company.
I got better terms than that on a CAR loan last month...
Which may or may not be part of China, depending on who you ask... (don't ask me, I'm just a random dude on the other side of the world)
Meanwhile, I'm a dev who can actually talk to people, but I still have to go through 5-6 layers of business people mangling what the user said...
