How much money was in the partisan “Inflation Reduction Act”?
Buttigieg Can’t Explain Why Biden Has Only Built ‘Seven or Eight’ EV Charging Stations
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg struggled Sunday on CBS’ Face the Nation to explain why the Biden administration has only manged to build “seven or eight” electric vehicle (EV) charging stations thus far.
As Breitbart News has noted, while the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 allocated $7.5 billion for EV stations, as part of building a national EV charging infrastructure, no EV charging stations had been built by the end of 2023.
$7.5 billion. Yup. Insanely, it can cost several hundred thousand dollars per level 3 charger installed. And, for those who say “well, it can take years”, I watched them put at least 5 Tesla chargers up over in Knightdale near the Lowe’s Foods in a matter of a few months. And, being government backed, I bet the costs skyrocket to at least $300k per Level 3 charger. Level 1 and 2 are less costly, of course.
Only about seven or eight had been built under the program by April — while the Fossil Fuel (Renewable Energy) industry has been cashing in by lobbying to have the stations built at existing gas stations.
Places like Sheetz get in on that sweet federal money, since, people can sit down and eat while waiting.
