Of that, $5 billion was allocated to individual states in so-called “formula funding” to build a network of fast chargers along major highways in the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure, or NEVI, program.
Last month, Republican members of the House of Representatives sent a letter to the Biden administration with a list of questions about the slow rollout of EV chargers.
“We have significant concerns that under your efforts American taxpayer dollars are being woefully mismanaged,” wrote Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) and Morgan Griffith (R-Va.).
EV policy experts say those requirements are critical to building a good nationwide charging program — but also slow down the build-out of the chargers.
Nigro points out that each charging spot will require the same maximum power as around 20 homes — a huge lift for local utilities not used to installing chargers.
But the chargers from the NEVI program would increase the country’s fast charging capacity by around 50 percent — a crucial step to alleviating “range anxiety” and helping Americans shift into battery electric cars.
