With due cause, in my opinion. It was hard work! This isn't just "how do we charge", but a much more comprehensive effort to make information on chargers available in real time. So people can see where chargers are, find working ones, pick where to go that will give them fast charging, and also give them a view to see over time which chargers tend to be reliable or not.
There was a very smart effort to make sure enough open data would come from this initiative so that consumers can effectively use this infrastructure, and have faith in it, which seems to have been a bit of a missing link in the past with out-of-service and slow charging experiences degrading trust. This is also key to monitoring these chargers to make sure these folks remain qualified for their funding!
Once standards were set, then folks have to design or update equipment to match. Data registries need to be setup to host these extensive APIs. We should expect this to take time.
I am very on board here. The pace does not seem slow to me. There's a lot do complexity that had to go into building standards that would make sure this money is well used.
That we haven't used billions of dollars in a year and change does not seem weird to me. It seems responsible, if we're trying to govern & help a complex ecosystem forward to benefit common welfare. This, to me, seems good. Outrage is easy, appreciating & helping the world is more complex. I'd love to see a world that can better curate & appreciate how complex things are, that can dig into the depth. A world of nuance leads to people who are aware & helpful.
