Yeah, was actually expecting Olive Garden somewhere on this instead.

My thoughts exactly.  I mean, WTF?

You also forgot about the pricing of most  EV’s as the majority cost more than their ICE counterpart, thus putting further burden  on the people. 

I’ve never seen a faucet above an oven in someone’s house in my life, and I know a couple pro chefs who build their own kitchens.

Came to post this as well. I’ve loved the D&Bs that I’ve been to, but I haven’t been in, well at least a decade.
