The U.S. Congress has already allocated over $7 billion for the building of EV chargers all across the United States. But guess what? There has not been a single new charger built anywhere, reports Eric Lendrum in American Greatness.
Reported in Breitbart:
The bill was passed in 2021 and signed into law by Joe Biden. The bill received some Republican support, with 13 Republicans in the House and 19 in the Senate voting in favor of the bill. $7.5 billion was designated solely for the construction of EV charging stations as part of the infrastructure bill.
Political reported:
“Congress, at the urging of the Biden administration, agreed in 2021 to spend $7.5 billion to build tens of thousands of electric vehicle chargers across the country, aiming to appease anxious drivers while tackling climate change. Two years later, the program has yet to install a single charger.”
In the whole United States, currently, there are only 180,000 EV charging stations, continues Mr. Lendrum.
The infrastructure bill pledged to fund the construction of 320,000 more, to bring the nationwide total to half a million by the year 2030.
Politico also claims, “consumer demand for electric vehicles is rising in the United States.” The “overwhelming” evidence, however, supports contrary evidence.
Multiple major car dealers have pleaded with the Biden Administration to drop its EV mandates that would force all gasoline-fueled cars off the road, as the lack of demand for EVs from the American people will make it harder to adjust to such a dramatic shift in the short timespan that the Biden Administration has set for itself.
A study by Consumer Reports determined EVs are 80% more likely to have problems than gas-powered cars. It’s not only a lack of charging stations concerning consumers:
- Problems with the lithium-ion batteries,
- Ill-fitting exterior and interior parts,
- Engine failures as the primary issues that EVs face on a regular basis.
