President Biden's trillion-dollar infrastructure package included billions of dollars to fund an ambitious plan to construct a massive nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network, but has yet to yield a single charger two years later.

Overall, the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) earmarked $7.5 billion for electric vehicle chargers — $5 billion for the so-called National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program and another $2.5 billion in discretionary funds for charging and fueling infrastructure — as part of the federal government's ambitious effort to expand EV ownership and reduce carbon emissions.

Do you recall how excited Schumer was when Biden signed the bill? No one gets that excited about infrastructure. No one! It’s all a scam so all the crooks can skim whatever they want. EVs are a scam….not Musk, but the forced issues. Actually, the entire bill is a farce.
