What about just using just small portions of 1 lane on the highways?  Would that bring the price tag down from 400 billion?  

The very informative dissertation on addressing the range of EV vehicles is great.  But it seemingly lacks the human quotient… Not everyone is motivated by fuel prices, not everyone is motivated by efficiency, not everyone is motivated by ’saving’ the planet.   Most people are motivated by the path of least resistance and ease of action. Make it easy.  I’m not saying this is right, or great, or something I admire, I’m just saying this is the masses work.   I want to see this succeed, but start selling the skeptical me, on how much easier an EV vehicle will be and how cool i’ll look driving it around.   Don’t tell me I have to run an extension cord out to my car and wait all night to go somewhere.  Lie to me a little if you have to.  What if you park on the street yards and yards away from your home, like millions of city-dwellers?  What if you make your living as a cargo truck driver… will there me a network built for them? do they even make EV(Haulers)?The more I think about it this a bag of square pegs and one round hole. I’m hoping to be proven wrong, but EV feels like a deadend for the time being.  I think we can collectively see a very noble goal, but time and technology hasn’t revealed all the puzzle peices we need yet. 

Square peg, round hole… Good luck with this one.  

I love these infographics you guys do a great job, HOWEVER, the climax of this one is just a little silly to me.  In 2100 the oceans will rise 3 – 6 feet and destroy japan. Well lets assume this is true and your math is correct, then Japan has 90 years to prepare for this japanese doomsday scenario.  And it wasnt clear, do the oceans rise all at once the 3 to 6 feet, or is it a slow continuous percentage of the 3 – 6 feet kind of trickle in thing over the next 90 years.  Either way… they have 90 years to prepare.  Let me repeat, 90 years to prepare.  Do we ever look back and care what the water level was 90 years ago?  Dare I say no.I understand needing me to believe in some sort of environmental urgency for whatever it is you are going for, but really, 90 years to the major catastrophe?? If Japan cannot figure out how to keep its head above water with a 90 year timeline they probably have larger problems.
