    Really. I'm not kidding. Trump will provide the $5 billion allotted to NEVI (National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) for building new public EV charging stations.

    I'm not sure if this is some sort of goodwill, or just being forced to do something congress had previously approved of. Let's hope it's the former, not the latter.

    ""President Joe Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in November 2021, allocating $7.5 billion for electric vehicle charging. Of this, $5 billion is dedicated to building a network of chargers along major highways, called the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program.

    While appearing on CBS News' Face the Nation on Sunday (May 2024), host Margaret Brennan asked Buttigieg, "The Federal Highway Administration says only seven or eight charging stations have been produced with a $7.5 billion investment that taxpayers made back in 2021. Why isn't that happening more quickly?"

    Buttigieg responded: "So the president's goal is to have half a million chargers up by the end of this decade.""
