Biden's EV Charger Plan Fails to Deliver a Single Charger

President Biden's $7.5 billion plan to build a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network, as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, has yet to produce a single charger two years later. Only $101.5 million has been distributed for seven state awards, with just two projects underway. Critics argue that the lack of demand for EVs, technological shortcomings, and stringent federal requirements are hindering progress. However, proponents emphasize the need to accelerate the deployment of charging infrastructure to achieve Biden's goal of 50% electric car purchases by 2030.
