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.
