It’s not practical for there to be unlimited competition for electricity production and distribution, so the government will be primarily responsible for delivering this resource which is vital to all people across a wide economic spectrum. As demand drives up prices, lower income users will need a subsidy or electricity prices will have to be progressive and based on wealth and income. In order for the poor to have access to electricity, rates for the wealthy will have to be much higher. A rapid influx of low-priced Chinese EVs will hasten this.
