The Biden administration is awarding $623 million in grants to help build an electric vehicle charging network across the nation.
Grants being announced Thursday will fund 47 EV charging stations and related projects in 22 states and Puerto Rico, including 7,500 EV charging ports, officials said.
“America led the arrival of the automotive era, and now we have a chance to lead the world in the EV revolution — securing jobs, savings and benefits for Americans in the process,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. The new funding “will help ensure that EV chargers are accessible, reliable and convenient for American drivers, while creating jobs in charger manufacturing, installation and maintenance for American workers.”
Congress approved $7.5 billion in the 2021 infrastructure law to meet President Joe Biden’s goal of building out a national network of 500,000 publicly available chargers by 2030. The charging ports are a key part of Biden’s effort to encourage drivers to move away from gasoline-powered cars and trucks that contribute to global warming.
I empathize, but that’s like boycotting word or acrobat.
I try to boycott those as much as well and luckily I can!
That’s… an outdated analogy.
I have used neither of those products in over a decade.
Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Drive, etc) is a better office suite product than MS Office. It’s also free for personal use.
Re Acrobat, Web browsers and operating systems ship built-in PDF readers these days. For the handful of PDFs that I don’t open in Chrome, Apple Preview does a great job.
