"Secretary of Energy faces road trip challenge with electric cars"

Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm's recent electric vehicle road trip highlighted the challenges of charging infrastructure for non-Tesla electric vehicles. The trip aimed to promote the Biden administration's push for green energy and clean cars, but encountered issues such as broken chargers and limited availability. Concerns about public chargers are the top reason why potential EV buyers are hesitant to switch, and driver satisfaction with public chargers is declining. The government and automakers are working to address the road trip problem by investing in a nationwide network of electric chargers and improving charging technology.
