Trust Democrats with public money and here’s what happens:
Fewer than 400 electric vehicle chargers were built with $7.5 billion in federal infrastructure funding, which comes out to more than $19 million per charger, a non-partisan watchdog agency found.
To be exact, 384 charging ports were built at 68 stations, at a cost of $19,531,250 per charging port.
Funding for the construction of the chargers was drawn from the $7.5 billion allocated to the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI) and Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program (CFI), which were approved as part of President Biden’s $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
A few RINOs went along with virtually all Democrats to pass the looting spree masquerading as an infrastructure law.
Not enraged yet? Then get a load of this reason more stations weren’t built:
Shortly after taking office, [Biden] signed an executive order mandating that the beneficiaries of 40 percent of all federal climate and environmental programs should come from “underserved communities.”
Stealing tens of billions in the name of climate bullshit didn’t signal enough virtue, so they had to make it about bestowing other people’s money upon favored identity groups.
That is so much horseshit - if private companies aren't interested enough to build charging stations then the EV movement should die. Everything our govt touches is corrupted and people should be convicted and imprisoned for that wasteful spending.
ReplyDeleteAgree 100%. If a business can't pull it's own weight without taxpayer subsidies, let it die. The ONLY time a business should rate a subsidy is if it is beneficial to EVERYDAMNBODY, AND willing to pay back the subsidy. If you make it on OUR money, you need to be willing to put it back.
