    They should definitely rush to spend 7bn so that the job is done poorly and everybody complains more about the ineffectiveness of our government. Especially with the changes in charging connection standards in the US.

        Not to mention it’s not like EV chargers were just invented 2 years ago. States should have already been exploring options. My state has already come up with numerous ways to charge EV drivers more for driving on the roads, all the while paying lip service by making pledges to reduce climate change, but now that there’s funding for a legitimate initiative, we get zero action.
