This Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will for the first time ever create a true national network of charging stations for electric vehicles. That means you can charge up and drive across the country — and it’ll create thousands of jobs for electrical workers.

I hope the coal plants are running so that those chargers can get some juice.

Surprised they didn't throw the kitchen sink in and offer a $10K tax credit for buying an e-vehicle.

I you all love blackouts because once everyone’s car and truck are on the grid that’s what you will get - not to mention the fact that they will control if you even get to drive

Tesla power bill hikes

Charging a Tesla at home may increase your electric bill by around $20 to $50 every month.


Have at it, fellers!

Yeah, you'll also have to take two additional weeks worth of PTO just to make up for the accumulated charge times to get you there.

But hey, now there's a charge station next to every waffle house in the country. So there's that.

The world may end due to Climate change before they actually get this fully implemented to stop climate change

From a national security standpoint, does it really make sense to put the country’s entire transportation capabilities on an electric grid?? A couple EMP attacks would literally cripple this nation instantly.

Hmmm, I wonder how this is gonna effect our unfortunate poor folks. I see them driving old cars 20 mph in a 45 zone and it ain't old people. It's a guy who is on empty and ain't got no damn money for no gas.

I want to see what this guy does with an EV when he ain't got no damn money for no lectrical charge.

This is just dumb and the millennials and younger will eat it up. Does their patron Saint Greta approve or is this just more blah blah blah?

PrezPotatoHead has no concept of what it’s like to take a multi-state road-trip.



I can drive from my home to Orlando, FL (700 miles) in 11 hours with one 10 minute stop for fuel. How long would that same trip take stopping to recharge an electric car?

I picture these government charging stations broke, filthy and poorly maintained. Let service stations do it and charge the fee like gas. Just like their gas pumps they have an incentive to keep things clean and functioning or they lose $$.
