The premise is sound, but some of the numbers are off. The govt has no business being in the EV business or just about any other industry. Govt always messes things up.

But can us conservatives at least get our numbers right? "Of the 219,000 privately funded EV charging ports in the US only 56,000 are level 3 chargers--meaning it takes an hour to give a vehicle the power to travel 200 miles." Um. No. In fact, the privately funded level 3 charges are the best. A year ago last August I traveled 1,740 miles from point A to point B and all but one charger took only 10-15 minutes to get me the next 200 miles. That's because I avoided the public funded ones. EV's are like anything else -- the private sector/free market is when it's best.

It might be interesting to see who was actually paid all this money for such a paltry number of charging stations. Inquiring minds would like to know.
