+1 Great info but I wanted to add some more in case it's helpful for /u/Little_Art8272

I believe electrical panel upgrades and install costs related to an EV charger get the 30% federal tax credit again now from the Inflation Reduction Act (up to $1000 max)

Also Green Mountain Power has a straight cash rebate in addition to the free charger. >Get a $1,500 rebate when you buy or lease a new all electric vehicle (AEV), or a $1,000 rebate for a new plug in hybrid (PHEV). If you’re getting a used vehicle, you can get $750.

Lost more incentives from other electric companies too:

  • Burlington Electric offers up to $2900
  • Stowe Electric department up to $1250
  • VEC $750
  • etc

Another route to cover panel upgrade would be to install a heat-pump and get up to $4000 for the panel and $2500 for wiring. https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/how-to-take-advantage-of-the-incentives-in-the-inflation-reduction-act/#electric-panel-upgrade

What near term infrastructure change is not possible in less than 20 years? Especially in VT?

Bernie is right, we must move aggressively, not shrug and resign to waiting "20 years"
