Biden's EV push has been about as successful as Obama's similar E85 and Biodiesel mandate. They can't even get the fedgov motor pool vehicles switched over convincingly, apart from a few select locations which were done mostly for show, at massive taxpayer expense.

I have some anecdotal evidence regarding the money involved, courtesy of an old college friend who works as a building engineer in a Dallas high-rise office building. His building leases office space to several federal agencies (apparently, the nearby federal building is full to capacity), and the agencies have been trying to get the General Services Administration to install EV chargers in the garage. Just two Level-2, 240v, 50 amp double-port chargers, installed ... maybe 30 feet from a breaker panel with plenty of remaining capacity. So, just a straight run of conduit and wiring, two new circuit breakers, the charging stations (about $9K each), plus permits, insurance, labor, etc.

The bid estimate from GSA came in a bit under $150,000.00.
