See the information that was shared with me below. I suggest this is an interdependency issue. You have to have the charging stations to match up with a huge surge in electric cars. I'm not sure we are that smart.
"I loved your article How Biden Plans to Build 500 EV Charging Stations, thanks for writing it!
"I thought you might like this: Which states are the most friendly for owning an EV? Bumper has ranked all 50 states for EV friendliness using 10 ranking factors. This comes as Biden's Infrastructure Plan aims to get EVs to 50% of new vehicle sales by 2030, and when the number of charging stations needs to 10x to meet that."
