1. In 2021, Biden's Infrastructure bill provided $7.5 billion to build EV charging stations. Only seven (7) stations have been built in 2 years.


2. To make the electric truck mandate realistic, "Some 1.4 million chargers will have to be installed by 2032 to achieve the EPA’s mandate, about 15,000 a month.

Does anybody sensible want to contribute, other than that twat Biden's Pudenda?
 
Its what they do. They pass the bill so the money can be looted. Same thing happened with Obama's american recovery act and all the "shovel ready jobs? Its was a giant money grab free for all that WE PAY FOR! When will people ever learn?

You are immensely stupid, the article is specifically referring to truck chargers.

The problem in delivering charging stations is two-fold:

First, the things don't turn a profit.

Here’s why convenience stores aren’t rushing to replace gas pumps with EV chargers

DRIVING PROFITABILITY IN US PUBLIC EV CHARGING

The only way to make them profitable is for government to perpetually and continually heavily subsidize them.

2. Because electricity isn't portable

This means you need charging stations everywhere and anywhere people may drive. In more rural areas charging stations are completely going to be massive losers in terms of cost to profit ratio. Yet, they'll have to be there because you can't haul extra electricity with you when you go there.

So, Biden will sink billions into charging stations that will then need billions more every year for essentially forever to keep them operating. It's a fool's errand to think this could possibly work.

Steve Molloy was specifically referring to truck charging stations. They don't just have the problems you mentioned but additionally local authorities and utilities are refusing to beef up their infrastructure.
