There are dozens of companies working on a fast charge solution and I expect we will have a production level solution within 5 years. All of this implies tremendous costs to the supply chain, from the battery manufacturers to the car makers to the chargers which need to be retooled to integrate...

Not true. A majority of dwellers don't have the option to charge at home, is more accurate. Most EV buyers can charge at home, and is the reason it makes it abundantly convenient to own an EV. America's suburbia is legendary and the goal of EV manufacturers is to reach them first. The EV...

Ok, there we go again: "I'm talking about middle class up to $5M assets". My bracket.

I don't have to correct your reading comprehension, do I?

The problem when discussing minorities in America is we all can fit in the straightjacket. What we usually mean by "whites" is people in power, from the top to the middle class. It's as reductionist as any other label and a source of intense resentment from the MAGA segment of our population...

Yeah, Costa Rica and Panama are in Central America. The wealthy can live anywhere and not care about taxes and expenses. I'm talking about middle class up to $5M assets, which should make anyone consider where and how to live. Costa Rica is far more attractive than CA for example.

Or you make your high income in high wage country but live in low cost of living country... Lots of Americans live in Central America with their retirement income, for example.

They can't be offended, they come from the same middle class hoods, went to the same colleges Pops and Mom went to and even got a connection to a good start up job in a major corporation. The real challenge started when they had to really work hard in a competitive environment at the job. 20...

Thank you for being a true Republican and not a MAGA white christian nationalist.

I expressed an opinion, you're saying nothing.

I tried to address your points in a later post, agreeing that while CA personal income is likely high, $124k seems overstates but the analysis to get there isn't provided.

Yes, who knows. I believe that everyone's greatest desire is to predict the future. Some spend enormous resources to reach that goal, from market whales to military strategists, AI development (Teslas FSD), to two bits gamblers...

Thanks to Wikipedia: Overall, out of Americans for whom the Census Bureau was able to determine poverty status, 42.31 million lived below the poverty line (or 13.15% of the total population). Poverty rates were highest in the states of Mississippi (19.58%), Louisiana (18.65%), New Mexico...

It's really difficult in US data sources to corroborate median personal income; all are based on family income unlike Euro data that is always based on personal income and makes more sense. "In calculating household income, the U.S. Census Bureau includes all pre-tax cash income of all...

I find the median income disparity between states to be quite shocking and a further recognition of the difficulty for the federal government to create and implement national economic policies with such extreme disparities. I'm sure if we layer in other indicators (population, life expectancy...

WA is a tech and manufacturing hub (Microsoft, Boeing, Amazon, Starbucks...).

Yeah? Good luck with that... You cannot bring an ICE vehicle in CA unless it meets stringent CA Carb rules. The retrofit can get pretty expensive but some cars (classics and exotics ) are worth the trouble. As I've said before and you've pointed out about EVs, it's not just the powertrain...
