Am i on crazy pills? Biden got the federal funds approved and left it up to the states to figure out how to appropriate. Why blame Biden and not the states?
Even in the article it states not even half of the states have made their request for funds. Its unnacceptable that the states get funding and sit on it to posture. Not even California has pulled the trigger and California has the highest use of EVs in the world. This is terrible.
I think it's the speed of bureaucracy. I know Michigan has big plans for an EV station network across the state, but that takes time to plan and find contractors and get approvals. Or for an operator to build a business large enough to handle it. I expect it'll be at least three years and perhaps up to ten before these projects are able to break ground.
Which is why I don't understand this article being scandalous about it, infrastructure implementation takes a while and a lot of states don't have the infra needed yet.
Of course. Also every level of government does a feasibility study that takes at least a 6 months to a year. The government doesn't move fast for much unless it suits the donors to their party.
Probably not. That would be China, or if pr. capita then Norway.
