IIRC-—THE CHARGERS THAT LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED PAYMENT FOR ALL HAVE CHRONIC PROBLEMS WITH THE CORDS BEING CUT & REMOVED.
WE KNOW where 10% went——
That’s less then 15K per Congress Critter. That’s not enough for them to have a good weekend. Then divide that by 3 years and it’s not even chicken feed to them. we can’t expect them to be bothered with such piddeling small amounts of money.
Now that 5 Trillion in Plannedemic money that’s some they can really celebrate with.
EV chargers....

This whole environment and climate change BS is to destroy the USA as it was.
Other than the very rich Democrats, most all other Democrats and RINOs are destined to die an early death. Drugs, lack of food, and services, it doesn’t matter, they will be gone.
Only people left will be Republicans and Libertarians as they do productive work for their betters.
Service jobs (Democrats specialty) don’t produce anything.
As I’ve said before, when you’re pumping gas into the fill tube of your gas-powered car, you’re physically transferring energy at the rate of about 3MW, or around 4000 hp.
That means that even if it was possible for a “fast charge” EV charger to fill up you car in three minutes or so, you’d need the equivalent of a freight train engine somewhere to provide the electric power.
Oh, and the cables that would connect to your car would be about two inches in diameter. And you’d need two of them.
And that’s accounting for Carnot losses in your car’s internal combustion engine.
Good.
No chargers unless there is a gas pump too.
U wanna drive an ev? Pay for your juice like the rest of us do.
Not on our dime!!
Same thing with the infrastructure bill. Infrastructure building actually went down. Maybe 5 years from now we’ll be building a lot of bridges and tunnels, or maybe the money will go into administrative costs and environmental and DEI studies.
“...you’re physically transferring energy at the rate of about 3MW, or around 4000 hp...”
Thanks.
Good numbers to know.
“....500 miles without worry...”
Try 650-750 mi. with 3 vehicles I own. [16x45->720, 36x22->792]
I suspect that the $3 billion awarded recently by the Biden White House to the California High-Speed Rail Project that benefits Gov. Newsom and Nancy Pelosi came from that.
They’ve put the potential of electrical vehicles being viable behind by at least a decade - maybe more. If all of these taxpayer funds were going to spent on electric vehicles, it should have been spent on R&D making the technology smaller, safer, and more efficient. Not pushing the manufacture and purchase of a technology not yet ready for prime time.
Now go look for the money. I bet it is gone.
“Don’t be so suspicious. First you’ve got to hire consultants. Then you’ve got to hire coordinators to coordinate all the consultants. And then you’ve got to hire presenters to put everything on PowerPoint slides.
None of these folks work cheap.
Oh, and then there’s the graft, bribes, and kickbacks. That too.”
They must all be Democrat donors, and of the charging stations that get built, at least half must be built in historically marginalized or underserved communities in the name of equity.
“I don’t think there is anything wrong with the concept of electric cars. There is a good use case for them, and as a second car, I think one would be excellent to have and a lot of fun to drive.”
Trump is Ok with them as a second car. He said they are good for going to the candy store.
This reminds me of Solyndra.
The government is as inefficient and unreliable and expensive as it gets.
No doubt a bunch of highly paid bureaucrats - all Democrats - have been hired to spend the $7.5b. We can expect most of the money will go to all expense paid meetings in luxury vacation destinations.
Can’t wait to start seeing roadside stands sell compressed electricity for EV’s.
