If I were in his situation, I might find this argument less than
convincing. I should spend $2500 for a special charging outlet, so
someone else can use it? And, it has a special connector so nothing BUT
certain EVs can use it?

An electrician might charge $100-$200 to add a normal 120vac 15amp
outlet. That's enough to recharge my EV overnight. And anyone can use it
for anything (Christmas lights, electric lawn mower, etc.)
