$7.5Billion ‘allocated’ does not mean $7.5Billion spent. As the article states, the challenge is that charger manufacturers were not ready to build chargers with the reliability that the legislation requires. I personally don’t want a dime spent on the highly unreliable chargers that Electrify America or EVGO uses. Also, one of the dumber aspects of the bill was that States were given authority on determining who got the money but they weren’t ready or knowledgable in making that determination.
Either way, the money is there it just hasn’t been spent yet.
