The Biden administration has designated billions of taxpayer dollars to build electric vehicle (EV) chargers, but lagging market demand and government red tape are getting in the way, according to experts who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced Thursday that it was awarding $150 million to upgrade existing public EV chargers, just one week after announcing another $623 million in subsidies to states to bolster EV charger construction

Hmmmm….Rivian has, pretty much,ZERO market share. Promised 7500 jobs which is complete BS.

And it isn’t it wonderful that Kemp and his crew made the decision to let them destroy 2000 acres of beautiful farm land and give them $1,500,000,000 in tax breaks.

$700,000,000 of which are property tax abatements for 25 years. A decision that should have been made by the county that is responsible for them.

Residents sued. They won. That corrupt POS, Kemp and his crew appealed and, of course, won.

All for nonsense.

Oh wait, it gets better. Ga taxpayers are also paying for an Electric Plane company, building their plant in Newton County.

Any of you want to volunteer for the first ride?

“All for nonsense.”

No kidding. Pissing away HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of tax dollars for NOTHING!!

The roads throughout California are crumbling everywhere you go. $68 billion deficit and Newsom just signed $3 billion of “free” health care for illegals. Tax paying citizens don’t even get the basics, but the freeloaders get taken care of.

Everything is wrong in the USA.

That’s what I’m thinking.

And oddly, the Governor, who was broke after his 2018 run, is now worth over $8,000,000…..amazing

The con game has been tuned up, moving beyond just solar panels and windmills. They're probably kicking themselves for not pushing this angle years earlier when there weren't the sort of economic headwinds around that are present now.

When are they going to build an all electric rocket to the moon? Elon should already be halfway to developing it.

This is rather insane:

The United States Department Of Energy Has Been Letting Electric Vehicle Manufacturers Lie To The Public About Their Efficiency

Not all of them. They are going after Tesla for over estimating range.

I had to drive the entire length of 99 last fall. What a mess that road is.
