So let's build them. This is not complicated.

The complicated part is that there is ideological and financial opposition to accomplishing the goal.

This administration illegally froze federal funding for programs that congress previously allocated to do build these chargers... then when courts shut that down, they tried to change other requirements to make them impossible to meet... and then congress passed a budget to reallocate some of the funds.

Didn't the previous administration allocate billions of dollars and only build a handful and then build them in places where people can't afford EV cars?

I don't think we can blame just one administration on this...

The administration itself doesn't build these chargers or choose where they go, it allocates grant money to state DOTs for them to distribute.

> then build them in places where people can't afford EV cars?

The point of the program is to build a national charging infrastructure, not to put chargers in rich people's backyards.

What's going on in Tennessee? Michigan having a lot I can understand due to the auto industry but it's surprising to see Tennessee almost fully covered

If you just put them along I-40 through Tennessee you pretty much cover the state because it's long and skinny and I-40 goes through it.

I'm not inherently opposed to Claude-generated sites, but could you put in a couple minutes of effort to make it less obvious?

The data on this page seems to be incorrect. For example, for the longest stretch of no chargers (US route 2 through Montana), it says there are no chargers from the Idaho state line to Tilleman Motors in Havre, MT. But there's a Tesla Supercharger in Kalispell, which US 2 goes through. They have this charging location in their database, so I don't know what mistake they're making in their calculations.[1]

I thought the goal for NEVI was to always be within 50 miles of an EV charger. That would mean that any gap of under 100 miles is acceptable.
