As part of its recently passed infrastructure bill, the Biden administration plans to spend $7.5 billion building 500,000 chargers for electric vehicles.
Will drivers actually want to use those chargers? The two biggest impediments to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles are the vehicles' range and their upfront cost.
Conveniently placed vehicle chargers could mitigate the range issue: Ideally, a trip to a charger would simply replace a trip to the fuel pump.
There are two types of public vehicle chargers, Level 2 and Level 3.
Level 3 chargers produce considerably more power, and can charge some vehicles from empty to 80 percent in as little as 15 minutes.
While Level 2 chargers cost less than $3,000 apiece, Level 3 chargers cost as much as $140,000 each to build.
Spending billions on chargers that take an entire afternoon to charge a vehicle is not the way to do that.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
