Google wouldn’t be my first choice, but it’s nice that someone is able to dedicate attention to this.
The impact of this for EVs would not necessarily be cars with bigger ranges but much lighter/cheaper cars with similar ranges as current high end models with faster charging times that only need a third of the battery weight. Anything beyond a few hundred miles of range is basically irrational and overkill. Normal people have a bladder range of about 200-300 miles at best (I get uncomfortable way before that) and ought to stop for longer than five minutes when they relief themselves eventually. Perfect opportunity to top up a battery. But most people don't actually drive that far more than a few times a year; if at all.
Now you can't really equate Reddit with an democratic election, but places like those are the closest we have come to an public square in the online world and hiding the mechanisms which decide who gets how much visibility is not without effect (on the trust within the system).
Speaking of, the primary revenue feed for Twitter is advertising, which directly competes with fairness and transparency goals: ad business is predicated on the idea that more $ = more speech, regardless of the intrinsic value of the speech; and since there is no practical way to know where the $ came from, it does an end run around transparency goals.
