How are the coast to coast charging stations doing?

Somebody got rich on that deal. They always do on these government contracts that never go anywhere.

[lurk]

They will make cute little homeless shelters.

All that crap along with the California choo-choo are money laundering schemes.

[sjmjax]

Yeah. Another Solendra. Only with “wheels”.

Yep. In my neck of the woods a city picked a site for a new casino. And it was a perfect site. Easy road access, lots of parking, etc.

Then at the last minute the permit for that site was pulled. The permit was instead given to a site that had congested roads and very little parking. It turned out that the second site was owned by a big-time Democrat.

But maybe I shouldn’t complain. That second site is a real pain to get to. So I don’t bother going there.
No casino visits = lots of money saved.

That’s only 40 million per truck. Pretty good for government work.

[Rinnwald]

$1.7 Billion/250 vehicles = $6.8 Million per vehicle.

Seems like a bargain to save Mother Earth.

Wonder if we can get China to agree with this kind of math.

285000 a copy. You could buy 3 cyber trucks from Tesla for that unit cost of 285k.

[Pete Dovgan]

So, roughly 40 mil a truck………… no good reason for DOGE! LOL
Joe Biden version of Keynesian economics!!

[tet68]

250 trucks. how many of which are still running?

Funny thing happened in Austin some years back. Austin desperately needed a new airport due to growth. The movers and shakers of Austin bought up much land where they would decide the location, mostly democrats. Then the Air Force sold Bergstrum Air Force Base to Austin for one dollar and this became the New Austin Airport.

Did Joe get his 10% up front?

[Karliner]

Good grief. I hope we can dump the waste, fraud and abuse.

[Karliner]

It turned out that the second site was owned by a big-time Democrat.

Yikes. Isn't that what happened to the bundy's and Harry Reid? He wanted the property, they refused and the rest happened?

Always bad people behind these deals.

[CIB-173RDABN]

Well as long as the BIG GUY got his 10% all is well. /s

How is Biden’s project to electrify our Main Battle Tanks going? Have they figured out how to set up charging stations under Russian drone coverage? Maybe solar panels for camouflage?
