It is abundantly clear that the green in Green Energy stands for money.

Congress at the urging of the Biden administration agreed in 2021 to spend $7.5 billion to build tens of thousands of electric vehicle chargers across the country, aiming to appease anxious drivers while tackling climate change.

Two years later, the program has yet to install a single charger.

States and the charger industry blame the delays mostly on the labyrinth of new contracting and performance requirements they have to navigate to receive federal funds. While federal officials have authorized more than $2 billion of the funds to be sent to states, fewer than half of states have even started to take bids from contractors to build the chargers — let alone begin construction.

Consumer demand for electric vehicles is rising in the United States, necessitating six times as many chargers on its roads by the end of the decade, according to federal estimates. But not a single charger funded by the bipartisan infrastructure law has come online and odds are they will not be able to start powering Americans’ vehicles until at least 2024.

Without an adequate network of chargers available, then there is no incentive for people to continue to own or even buy electric cars. This goes to show the Biden administration was not serious about promoting electric vehicles to begin with and was only interested in destroying automobile manufacturing in the U.S. in order to benefit China. If Biden was serious, a charging network would be one of their top priorities including batteries with better energy storage as Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm’s experience trying to take a road trip using an electric vehicle demonstrated.

The electric vehicle push is nothing more than a cash grab. Meanwhile, Biden insists people buy electric cars to save gas still uses fossil-fuel powered transpoertation to travel, including for leisure.
