If someone declares debate unnecessary, it is often a dead giveaway that the facts are not on their side.
The “debate is settled” tactic seems to have become popular among electric utility executives who are tired of the public questioning why a power company should use ratepayer funds to build, own and operate electric vehicle charging stations.
Unfortunately for utility executives, simply declaring victory is not a valid response. Policy battles have revealed powerful electric utilities, while excellent at generating and distributing electricity, are often the worst candidate to open up EV charging businesses.
