A couple of relevant data points:
-Biden recently publicly credited Tesla as America's leading EV
manufacturer. Yes, it took a while, but that talking point is over.
Meanwhile we'll see if Ford, VW, GM, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan and others can
catch up, as their new models arrive.
-The government is also making people who do not support fossil fuels
pay for fossil fuel tax breaks and cleanups.
As a wider view, perhaps the thinking is that supporting nation-wide
transportation initiatives offers benefits for overall American
competitiveness, which benefits everyone. Even while recognizing that
each subset in the transportation universe may not currently have
individual support or direct use by every single person.
Cheers,

The only problem that I see with this is that the government is making
people who do not support ev’s pay for ev charging. I say that we wait
for
mass ev adoption to happen(which will happen very soon). After this,
businesses and apartment building owners will pay for ev charging
stations
out of their own pocket because having ev charging as an amenity will
attract more customers/tenants. Some hotels are already starting to do
this.
A government that is 28 trillion dollars in debt should not be spending
billions of dollars that it does not hav
ABSOLUTELY! In addition, government contributions are not needed and
any government money would almost certain to be misspent. Examples
abound. Tesla has the charging problems solved. Compare SuperChargers
with EVGO and the VW system. All Tesla needs is a small fraction of the
money that Biden wants to spend. Tesla knows the charging problem and
how best to solve it. Instead, Biden wastes his efforts denying the
existence of Tesla while proclaiming the EV dominance of GM. Why does
Biden expect credibility?
