Why Trump Couldn’t Stop the Electric Vehicle Dream - POLITICO

Biden didn't get to campaign on the success of shiny new chargers at highway exits.

Biden law gave states $7.5 billion for EV charging; 37 stations and 226 ports built, more to come - PolitiFact

A U.S. Federal Highway Administration spokesperson told PolitiFact the two federal programs have so far funded 37 charging stations. Like gas stations, EV charging stations can have multiple charging points. ​

The fastest way to get more people to buy electric vehicles: Build more charging stations - Vox

… Biden's plan would increase the number of charging stations more than tenfold by establishing grant and incentive programs for state and local governments and private companies to build 500,000 charging stations around America's highways and in hard-to-reach communities by the year 2030.
