Well said, I couldn't agree more. The division in this current Congress is so disputatious that it seems as though they've made it their goal to keep gridlocking each other into a hopelessly gridlocked stalemate. This current congress has been the most unproductive Congress in congressional history. Andy Biggs is my congressman, I've voted for him in every election since he first ran in 2017. But, I'm getting increasingly frustrated with his consistent failure to initiate policies that would be propitious for the district I live in, which he represents - not to mention the fact that he always seems to be at nucleus of all the inner-party squabbling and consistent blame shifting. So many of our congress members seem to be flat out incapable of putting aside their political strife for the sake and greater good of their constituents and it's become an absolute detriment to Americans in every state.

Most of the public charging systems do not work and frankly only Tesla seems to be able to charge their vehicles on a routine basis. Lastly, it’s hilarious because the same person was filmed, trying to charge a vehicle, and they asked her where the power came from and she had to admit that the city was attached to a coal mine so a coal mine was actually charging her vehicle.

[@Slayer398]

Tesla's built a ton of charging stations, but the problem is the power grid they connect to and how they drain it if you had enough EV's and stations on an already weakened grid that flickers left and right. I just had 2 brownouts last week in NJ and we haven't even had any heatwaves hit.

Then the rooms are populated slowly with the products and medical equipment and instruments. People and especially the “Energy Secretary” take for granted what is produced from oil & gas.

[@The4Crawler]

From the NEVI program web site itself: There are 33 states that have released solicitations for the NEVI program with 16 of these states already awarding contracts and installing charging stations. Three states, Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania, have opened their first NEVI-funded charging stations to the public. It was amazing to see these convenient, reliable fast charging stations in action in London, Ohio; Kingston, New York; and Pittston, Pennsylvania. Our Deputy Director, Rachael Nealer, even had the opportunity to put the chargers to the test on opening day in New York! There are now more than 170,000 public charging ports across the country, with an average of 900 new chargers opening each week. So the private sector is bringing on-line 900 chargers (assume charging points) per week and this massive gov't program has done 7 locations with apparently 38 charging points in total. And the goal is 2000 more by the end of the year. The private sector will be adding 46,800 in that same time period!

If we are buying the chargers. Who is getting the money from them and why is the price so high.

Shove your climate change BS

[@SuperVt100]

That 3.75M per station ⛽. Wow!

[@poogy3]

Dont worry, NO Justice will be served. Hearing will keep going on.

[@tonytrotta9322]

Charging Stations - We have built too many to count once we get passed 3! So probably 5 across the whole USA!

[@DB-ug1pr]

The Fed govt. should have experimented with / improved Amtrak & public transit instead of disrupting the automotive industry!

[@aw7425]

Grannynogas is still clueless, ask her what will power those charging stations

[@usleadershipareliars]

It's not the govts job to build these, the fed govt never built 1 gas station, not 1, the people did, the consumer. Autocracy anyone

[@user-ye6ig2li6l]

The biggest thing with this climet change. Is that it's not just us. But it seems we have to pay for it. Why are no other country's brought up in these hearings.

[@Crosmyn]

The follow up question I wanted would have been "how many power plants are currently under construction to support the thousands of chargers in your forecast?"

[@Goat69-mi1ku]

She'd probably answer that "We're looking into building a 2nd Sun."

[@melissaclark4912]

Think she needs to go get educated on energy or just be a secretary

[@user-js1nq3sb5w]

Every morning people stop in the local station and spend 10 min inside.

Going green isn’t truly going green. It also adds carbon to the environment among others.
