Structural Economic Change - The Electric Vehicle Charging Problem

Graham Watson

11th February 2021

I love these Wendover Production clips - just lots of good economics, In this case, they look at the market for electric cars.

There is lots to consider here such as the notion of scalability, issues with consumer popularity, and the underlying features of the market.

In this case, the real issue seems to be charging.
