President Joe Biden will attend an auto show in Detroit, Michigan on Wednesday, where he will tour the newest models in auto-manufacturers electric vehicle portfolios and announce a new infrastructure plan to make driving electric vehicles more accessible.

Biden, a vintage car enthusiast and owner of a 1967 C2 Corvette Stingray, will meet with dozens of automakers at the North American International Auto Show to boast about the Inflation Reduction Act — a recently signed climate and health care law that offers tax incentives for buying electric vehicles.

On Wednesday, he will also announce a $900 million plan to build EV chargers across 53,000 miles of the national highway system, a White House official said. The plan will include construction in 35 states, the official added.

And the $77 billion or so FedGov sent to California has given the US a state-of-the-art high speed rail system that is the envy, um, oh wait, there is no rail system, never mind. My bad.

Maybe they could start with something simple. The charging plug is different on these EVs.
In Europe they have ONE standard plug to plug in your electric car.

This is like BETA max of VHS? Except, there are several to pick from.

The Green Leap Forward will fail.

And we will all be made poor for nothing but the vanity and power of politicians.

Exactly.
How do we power them?

Hydro? Nope.
Nuclear? It’d be great, but the Libs and Greenies would freak out...nope.
Oil? Nope.
Coal? Got plenty of it, but...nope.
Wind and solar? The Libs and Greenies think this is the ticket, but...nope.

Reality is lost on these people.

53,000 miles of the national highway system, in 35 states.
___________________

That does not seem to be enough!
What are the 15 states going to do?
And people living off the highway grid?
I would say a lot more is needed to have enough charging stations to make travel EV safe.
But it is actually 900million wasted, to address nonexistent problem!

It’s not wasted given the trends but it’s probably not enough. We need much more capacity so where’s that infrastructure effort?

Gas prices will go up as electric cars become more common and demand for gas drops. Eventually it’ll be hard to find.

If it’s anything like the one near me, a giant diesel generator that has probably had the diesel siphoned. Or perhaps you are suppose to supply your own diesel? not really sure about the logistics.

And most of it will find its way into the bank accounts of the well-connected. A fraction of that amount might actually be used for the stated purpose.
