The Biden administration is classifying some of the country’s most elite and exclusive locales as “low-income” areas, making them eligible for electric vehicle (EV) charger subsidy programs.
The administration’s EV charger tax credit program — made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), President Joe Biden’s signature climate bill — is specifically designed to route subsidies to “low-income” or “non-urban” areas of the country. The “low-income” emphasis for eligibility aligns in spirit with the Biden administration’s wider pursuit of so-called “environmental justice,” which is effectively the combination of social justice ideology and green policy.
Numerous elite hangouts and locales — including Montauk and Fishers Island in New York, and parts of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket in Massachusetts — are among the areas that the administration has classified as “low-income” and eligible for receipt of EV charger subsidies, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) interactive eligibility map.
Building out a nationwide charging network is a key supporting plank of the Biden administration’s EV agenda, but the charging infrastructure that currently exists is concentrated in wealthier, more densely-populated coastal regions of the country. The Biden administration’s tax credit program is designed to blunt the costs of charger construction specifically in non-urban, less wealthy parts of the country that would be less likely to install them.
“This tax credit provides up to 30% off the cost of the charger to individuals and businesses in low-income communities and non-urban areas, making it more affordable to install EV charging infrastructure and increasing access to EV charging in underserved communities,” the White House stated on Jan. 19.

Then they can shelter a few thousand illegal aliens, instead of sending them all to low income black neighborhoods.
So where's Letitia James on the falsely submitted Financials?
Every government employee should be shifted to Obamacare immediately.
I think the Biden regime and the Beltway bureaucrats know they are losing in November and they are busy stealing the fine China and silverware while they can. They will rob the Treasury non-stop until November, and have passed legislation preventing any opposition to the theft in perpetuity.
The Left uses power to direct benefits to their supporters, and punish their enemies.
“Conservatives” take it as a mark of political virtue to penalize their own supporters. (They do this in order to ingratiate themselves with the elites who are all Leftist.)
You know the Biden Crime Family is getting a piece of that.
Especially their biggest donors. RATS use taxpayer money to fund projects that their biggest donors are invested in. Andrew Cuomo did it all the time. Obama did it with the solar panel companies. And it didn't matter that those projects went bust, or solar panel companies filed bankruptcy. Somebody still made money off of them. Bet those charging stations are connected to RAT donors.
But Repubs do not punish their big donors.
They serve them. They sacrifice the interests of their voters, for benefits for their big donors - eg. open borders cheap labor.
Repubs also punish their base voters, (entitlement cuts, green taxes), to the applause of the elites.
You’re right...Repukes are as bad as the RATS.
I don’t think the authors took a look at the eligibility locator map linked in the article. Both islands had areas that aren’t eligible for the credit...
Yes....a disadvantaged, poorly-resourced community that couldn’t even handle a plane load of ‘migrants.’ /s
This is rich.
Bttt
Manhattan, Bel Aire and Beverly Hills are next................
Most EV owners I know are low income. I think I pulled a rib muscle laughing.
EC
The Biden administration wasting tax dollars for where you can’t live they are so poor they had to evict the illegals for the lack of food .................................
It’s true. The people who LIVE and WORK (as domestic slaves) to the elites who own second third fourth mansions on Martha’s Vineyard are legit low income. The RICH don’t LIVE there, they only vacation there.
