Just like Solyndra, only a thousand times bigger.
Dem companies win contracts. Labor unions are paid off. Political contributions are paid to Dem politicians. Dem politicians get elected and re-elected. Then the Dems award big contracts to more Dem companies. Rinse, repeat.
Nothing good at all came out of Solyndra. Nothing good will come out of these charger boondoggles.
If EVs made sense, private enterprise would build a charger network. At least Musk is doing that.
Your gas pump nozzle will fit into any car in the country. Can’t say the same about EV charger plugs.
Went to a Walmart in a neighboring county yesterday and the had 6 Tesla chargers on the far side of their parking lot.
All full of course.
And this was in an up-scale area......................
By next year you will be able to charge at any EV charger. Tesla and Rivian are opening up their chargers to everyone. Automakers are giving out free adapters. I just drove from Albuquerque to Reno and had no problems charging anywhere.
More high speed chargers are needed in large urban areas. And I don’t mean in “poor underserved” areas like Pete is pushing with his equity b.s.
Truth. EVs don't make sense and privates won't dive into a dying industry. Gubmint will waste our money doing what privates won't, until sanity reigns come January '25.
Musk, on the other hand, will own whatever EV market that develops
