Biden's EV Push: Zero Chargers Built Despite $7.5 Billion Allocation

President Joe Biden's plan to construct thousands of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the United States has fallen short of expectations. Despite allocating $7.5 billion towards the project, the nation currently has only around 180,000 chargers, far from the goal of 500,000 by 2030. The Department of Energy estimates that the U.S. will need 28 million charging ports by 2030 to accommodate the projected 33 million electric vehicles on the road. Republicans have been actively opposing the Biden administration's efforts to boost EV adoption, including blocking funding for expanding the charging network. Additionally, the Senate voted to overturn Biden's decision to waive some "Buy America" requirements for government-funded EV charging stations, further complicating the situation.
