Energy Secretary's Frustrating EV Road Trip Exposes Charging Challenges
TL;DR Summary
US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and her team encountered a lack of electric vehicle (EV) chargers during a road trip aimed at promoting EVs. The scarcity of chargers became such an issue that the police were called in when an employee from the Department of Energy tried to save a spot using a gas-powered car. The incident highlighted the urgent need for improved EV infrastructure in the United States, where there are only about three EV charging ports for every 10,000 people.
