Biden green lights funds for nationwide electric vehicle charging network.

God Bless President Biden

The gas car is dead. Long live the EV.

The fuel of the future is electric, according to Secretaries of Energy and Transportation, Jennifer Granholm and Pete Buttigieg, who say they want to make it easier to come by.

The Biden administration announced Thursday that a portion of $5 billion of federal funding, over five years, is available to states that have a plan to upgrade or create new electric vehicle charging stations.

It’s part of the bipartisan infrastructure law, signed late last year. Each state must apply in order to receive a portion of the funding.

“This is about making sure everybody can get in on the EV revolution, it’s already happening, but we have to make sure that it’s made in America; that everyone benefits from cities to rural areas,” said Secretary Buttigieg.

Eventually, the administration says they want to expand charging in rural and underserved areas, but this round is intended for infrastructure along interstate highways or alternative fuel corridors.

“We want people to not have range anxiety, then we focus on areas where we haven’t seen a big uptake in electric vehicles. Maybe they are in urban areas. It might be poor communities,” said Granholm.

Electric vehicles made up less than 3% of new auto sales last year. Though that number is expected to increase within the next decade, Granholm acknowledges one significant roadblock: the cost.

“This is exactly why the president has pushed, as part of the Build Back Better agenda to have tax credits for the purchase of electric vehicles, both new and used ones,” Granholm said.

poor communities ? only rich people can afford these toys.

the average re-charge time is said to be 8 hrs, that means any long range driving is going to have to take a lot longer as you are limited to whatever range your toy car has and then you are done for the day.

total waste of printed money. your groceries go up for nothing due to the inflation it causes..

So, are you opposed to this? Why would you be? It's trying to increase accessibility. How could that be a bad thing?

The budget is nothing. I think we probably spent that in the average hour in any one of the wars we've had...

This really is just another bridge to nowhere boondoogle Bartender. That money could be much better spent elsewhere.

Is bungling Benito Biden going to "green-light" some extra electrical power generating capacity to cope with the huge additional demand, or is this just another Green New Steal?

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that DEMOCRATS have already been tipped off to make investments in the charging station manufacturers.

I am almost certain of that! Good point.

Yes. Never ceases to amaze me how many people go into office with nothing or very little and come out millionaires or better.

A level 3 charging station can charge a vehicle in about 20 minutes. Where did 8 hours come from?

Remember the Hildebeast's miraculous cattle futures "beginner's luck"?

Those "book advances" and "speaking fees" that made so many DEMOCRATS millionaires?

So many false premises, so little time.

Say, didn't she somehow acquire a Tesla to virtue signal in - after she slammed the most successful African-American in history for accepting federal grant dollars?
