Why not electricity suppliers and ev manufacturers?
Have I missed something here
Asking you particularly because I respect your opinion
Wiz is a trier and consistent, will give him that
Some just can't see the forest for the trees. Because they can't their solution is to cut down the trees. By the time they realise their mistake we're treeless and forestless.
