Tesla's application for nearly $100 million to fund a charging corridor for electric big rigs was passed over again, continuing its struggles to develop its semi-truck program despite deliveries to customers.
The funding was part of a bipartisan infrastructure deal aimed at enhancing electric vehicle infrastructure, highlighting the importance of extensive charging stations for advancing commercial electric trucking.
Tesla had aimed to utilize the granted funds, along with its own investments, to advance an ambitious project for building a network of electric semi-truck charging stations.
Despite earlier deliveries of the Tesla Semi, the company has yet to fully realize its large-scale commercial electric truck program, facing ongoing challenges in establishing infrastructure.
