Tennessee's state parks are (almost always) FREE TO ENTER, and all of the EV-chargers within (Rivian-badged, will charge anything) are FREE TO USE — and yet I rarely seen them used, even at those within city urban areas (i.e. very easy to access).

I think until electric vehicles can reliably and safely work (in leiu of e.g. a Tesla Powerwall &c) in both directions with the grid plug-ins

...and until legislatively we can STOP PENALIZING EV ADOPTION WITH ANNUAL FEE INCREASES UPON EVs, only. E.g. in Tennessee, EVs (& Plug-in-hybrids?, IIRC) the annual registration fee is about 4x a gas-only vehicle [so $120, instead of $30, depending on county].

Only then can we fully justify lugging around 2000 pounds of LiFePhos...
