REPORT: The Biden administration invested $7.5 billion into EV charging & produced just 8 charging stations over 4 years. The Department of Transportation led by Pete Buttigieg is being mocked for the massive failure. For comparison, a Tesla Supercharger costs less than $50,000 per charger meaning the company could... build a 10-stall Supercharger station for less than $500,000 (Electrek). The EV charging station plan was written in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and allocated $7.5B for EV charging, with $5B dedicated to building a charging network along US highways. During a previous interview on CBS News, Buttigieg tried defending the disaster, saying it would take a while to hit their goal of 500,000 chargers.show more

Invested? you mean stole right??

Collin Rugg1 year ago

My apologies. I meant to say "invested."

Michelle Maxwell1 year ago

Everything about that administration is a failure!

Collin Rugg1 year ago

If the government cared about efficiency, they would have given the money to Tesla and told them to get to work.

One Bad Dude1 year ago

All they do is launder our money.

Collin Rugg1 year ago

Don't you hate it when you 'accidentally' lose track of $4 Trillion?

Planet Of Memes1 year ago

Where is all that money?

Collin Rugg1 year ago

Lost, stolen, burned or laundered.

Where’s the money?

Pete Buttigieg previously said bridges are racist. The guy is a bombastic fool. He should’ve be in charge of a toy car set let alone America’s transportation.

Putrajaya is considering imposing a levy on every EV sold to fund the expansion of Malaysia's public charging network, said MITI Minister Johari Ghani. This follows weaker-than-expected investment in public charging infrastructure despite tax incentives for imported EVs, which cost the government RM3.3 billion in foregone revenue over the past four years. 🧵1

Just stopped by a new 24-stall V4 Tesla Supercharger that's about to open in Goleta, California (next to Santa Barbara). The site also includes two pull-through charging stalls for EVs towing trailers. The signs have little Cyber trailers on them. Combined with the existing 12-stall V3 Supercharger right next to it, there will be a total of 36 charging stalls at this site, making it one of the largest in Central California.

Hey Tesla Charging, Yellowstone is one of the most beautiful national parks in the world, yet it’s one of the hardest places to charge a Tesla. Right now, I’m stuck relying on slow third-party ChargePoint charger that takes 11+ hours for a full charge, while the nearest Tesla Supercharger is hours away. Millions of people visit Yellowstone every year, and EV adoption keeps growing. Adding more Tesla Superchargers in and around the park would make road trips safer, easier, and far more enjoyable for everyone. Please consider expanding the Supercharger network in Yellowstone. It would make a huge difference!

This was our experience at the Buc-ee's Beaver in Sevierville TN. The last thing I would do is park at the gas pump and go into the store and shop for an hour or two. I wish people would respect an EV charging station with that in mind. We were lucky and got a charging spot but after we filmed this, all of the empty spots were taken by ICE cars. Several EV’s arrived and tried to find a spot but had to keep circling. Elon, could Tesla go one step further with the hosts and post signs stating For EV Charging Only?

In India, people buy a ₹25 lakh EV but avoid spending ₹40,000 on a proper home charging setup. An AEEE–Kazam study found that 45% of Indian households need electrical upgrades for safe EV charging. Without a proper charging setup, not just your home but even nearby homes could be sitting on a time bomb. In India, an EV should be handed over only after verifying that the customer's home charging setup is safe and compliant. Jugaad won't work every time.🤦 #EV #EVCharging #ElectricVehicles #EVSafety

Anger erupts at an EV charging station in China. In Foshan, a man driving an electric vehicle lost his temper after finding all charging spots occupied by randomly parked non‑EV cars that weren’t using the chargers. After failing to reach the owners, he exploded in anger and began smashing whatever he could — even in the presence of police — insisting he was ready to pay any fines, saying that “the important thing is teaching the freeloaders a lesson.

FAFO 💯‼️ and it was ⚡️SHOCKING 😅😂 Idiot tries to steal copper wires from a live EV charging station. Family sues electric company for wrongful death. Judge dismisses $3 million lawsuit after their 18-year-old son, Darius Johnson, dies from electrocution while stealing copper cables from an EV charging station in October 2025. In a shocking incident that occurred in October 2025, 18-year-old Darius Johnson tragically lost his life after being electrocuted while attempting to steal copper cables from an active electric vehicle (EV) charging station. The dangerous act resulted in fatal injuries, highlighting the significant risks associated with tampering with high-voltage electrical infrastructure. Following the incident, Johnson's family filed a $3 million wrongful death lawsuit against the electric company responsible for the charging station. However, the court ultimately dismissed the case, citing the circumstances surrounding the attempted theft. This incident serves as a powerful reminder of the hazards associated with electrical equipment and the grave consequences of unlawful tampering. It also reignites discussions around public safety, property crime, and legal accountability related to utility infrastructure.

Public charging is still a joke. I’m off the Florida Turnpike where millions of cars pass through, and every single EV Connect charger here is broken. Zero options for CCS1 cars for more than 40 miles. Ended up lending my spare NACS adapter to a seemingly stranded Ioniq 5 driver. He seemed surprised adapters like that even existed. Unless you’re charging on Tesla, Rivian, or Ionna or Alpitronic hardware, a lot of public charging infrastructure is impossible to fully trust.
