The NEVI program, part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, has allocated $7.5 billion to create 500,000 EV fast charging stations by 2030, promoting EV adoption nationwide.
Despite the Biden administration’s efforts, the deployment of charging infrastructure has lagged behind booming electric vehicle sales, leading to persistent accessibility concerns and misinformation.
The increase in operational NEVI-backed stations marks a significant turnaround from its sluggish start, yet challenges with permitting processes remain an obstacle to widespread charger availability.
Misconceptions surrounding the NEVI program's budget and efficiency have led vocal critics to misrepresent the reality of its progress, prompting clarifications from officials like Secretary Buttigieg.
