$521 million in US grants approved for the construction of more EV stations

The Biden administration is allocating the grants to meet its goal of building more EV stations on America's roadways.

The Energy Department and the Federal Highway Administration have allocated $321 million of the grant money to expand EV charging infrastructure across 29 states as well as the District of Columbia. The Washington Post reported in March that only seven open charging stations (with just 38 spots for electric vehicles) were built since the plan was announced and funds were allocated by Congress two years ago.
