Results: Surprise: Biden's $7.5 BILLION EV plan stalls

Despite the grand promise, only a few projects are currently underway, and none have been completed. The consumer response to the promised upcoming EV mandates and transition from gasoline engines has not been what the administration expected. Several vehicle manufacturers have lost $ billions chasing the new EV trend and have all but scrapped their endeavor to flood the market with electric vehicles. Does it surprise you that the EV market is not taking off as expected?

The administration continues to advocate for its pro-EV agenda, even as it grapples with the challenges of infrastructure development. According to reports, a mere $101.5 million of the $5 billion designated for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program has been disbursed to a total of seven states. Does it surprise you that after all this time, only a small fraction of the funds the Biden administration designated for this project have actually been used?

Construction has commenced on only two projects, located in Columbus, Ohio, and Pittston, Pennsylvania. The remaining recipient states, including Hawaii, Maine, Colorado, Alaska, and Kentucky, have yet to initiate construction. An additional 17 states are still in the proposal and application phase, suggesting that their charging stations may not materialize for several years. Do you consider this fiasco just another failure by the Biden administration?

Despite the apparent slow progress, Biden administration representatives maintain that significant strides have been made in enhancing the country's EV network. "Since the President took office there has been a 70 percent increase in charging ports now in place, and as states move quickly and deliberately to energize even more EV chargers stamped Made-in-the-USA, Americans can be confident that we are on track to meet our ambitious goals," a spokesperson for the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation said. Do you believe that everything is going to work out perfectly in the end - in the timeframe that was promised?

Simultaneously, several states have proposed banning the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by the mid-2020s. While these initiatives have garnered some support, they have also sparked criticism from those who argue that EVs are not a viable option in certain regions of the country. Do you agree with the big push to force everyone to drive electric vehicles?
