I see this as ironic because NYC (where I was born) had many electric charging stations over a hundred years ago when electric cars outsold the gasoline and steam cars. You can search and find many old photographs and articles showing these charging stations. Most of the original electric car owners were women because gasoline was sold in cans, was easily spilled on their expensive dresses which damaged them or made them smelly, gasoline engines were very hard to crank to start, and the emissions damaged or stank their clothes. Finally the first electric cars did have over 100 miles of range, enough for a week of driving in NYC.
