“State transportation agencies are the recipients of the money,” he said. “Nearly all of them had no experience deploying electric vehicle charging stations before this law was enacted.”

    It’s less than $10B across 50 states for charging infrastructure, not to auto manufacturers as I understand, despite what you’re saying. And yeah I have 2 electric cars in my garage and live next to two of the largest wind farms in the country.

    Redoing rail the right way, doing full scale infrastructure overhauling to enable bicycles and revised public transit, or whatever else that services all 50 states are all projects with two more zeros and probably decades of work to build. Sorry you’re jaded about that, but thousands of charging stations would be, I suspect, better in the long run than handing out bird scooters that you can only use year round in less than half of CONUS.

    I will take the increment. If you don’t want to buy an electric car, don’t. Burn some gas and go vegan I guess.
