Trump Has Thrown a Wrench Into a National EV Charging Program. Can He Make It Disappear?

  1. If you have to sue the US government to finish $10M project. You’re probably going to just walk away.

  2. I would think the market would solve this on its own.
    With the government throwing billions at it, it disincentives the market from investing.

    If I were a fuel station owner, I would install chargers to deliver electron fuel to a growing percentage of the market.
    They could upgrade the store to entice spending while they wait for the car the charge.

  3. It kind of seems like trump simply doesn’t care whether or not his actions are legal, and I’m still waiting for the judicial branch to provide him with any reason to take them seriously.

  5. The auto industry will win this one. They are too far along planning out the future of the gas station across America to be stopped.

  6. Since when did “blatant disregard for the law” stop Trump from doing anything?

    If you own the courts there is no law you cannot flaunt.

  7. This is the one we are going to nail him to the cross for. Lock him up!

  8. We’re in a weird situation where Trump is still using anti EV rhetoric but his chief crony is an EV guy and he’s granting EV government contracts. Of course it doesn’t matter, Trump is using the rhetoric because he trained his base to be anti EV and it doesn’t matter what he does, if they don’t like it they’ll just call it fake news

  9. He threw the wrench at it before they sent $400m for more e trucks; i am literally questioning reality on how more people don’t see this

  10. He probably made a joke of the laws. So far he’s been above the law. The average person would be in jail for the things that he’s done so far.

  12. Gas stations can rename as fuelling stations, and add EV chargers. If people don’t have an EV, they won’t use it, it’s that simple.

    Nobody cares gas stations have vacuums, or air pumps, so who cares if they also offer EV charging? 

    My worry is mouth-breathing coal rollers will damage EV charging spots to send a message.

  13. It’s not a priority on anyone’s radar. Lots going on. After Biden and the fat cats pulled their money out it became less important to those in power. They made their money and are don’t with it. Watch for the next insider trading scam

  14. He need to stop worrying about EVs. Start working on the promised gas price.

  15. Is anyone surprised?
    He is targeting anything environmentally friendly.

    Banning:

    • ⁠Renewable wind farms
    • ⁠Ecologically friendly LED bulbs
    • ⁠Environmentally friendly straws
    • Renewable solar plants
    • ⁠Bike lanes (He is working on this)
    • ⁠100+ environmental regulations

    You may not think of yourself as a leader. But we must stand up for the next generation and for our planet.

    Please help and speak out, stand up, or support those who are fighting this tyrant.

  16. That mf aint worried bout no authority constraints
