We're missing the forest for the trees:
• Trees = privately owned EVs
• The forest = fleet EVs

If we care about electrification/climate/emissions we should focus on fleets. And subsidize them

📈It has become conventional wisdom that EVs are scaling rapidly and will continue to do so

If you were rewriting the bill, what would you include?
