#3 I would consider a good hybrid (I am, actually) just not a plug-in hybrid. Maybe a diesel hybrid even. I shall never consider an EV. I'd sooner not drive.

#4 So exactly, who stole all this money?
Or was it the standard Biden thing, where it all goes for bribes?

#5 Whiskey Mike: we have 2hybrids and biggest shortfall, for us anyway, is inability to pull small trailer ( garden supplies, home depot runs, that sort of thing. Keeping the 2000 accord around for that. Cannot justify a pickup ( on many fronts).

#6 The slow rollout of the Federally funded EV chargers is due mainly to the strict standards these stations are required to meet (e.g. availability, interoperability). The 'strict standard' was made by regulation after input from the public in response to a proposed regulation.

Very little of the funds have been spent since this is a reimbursement program and companies that provide the charging station are paid after installation and inspection.

#8 I'm surprised that any of the 7 work, not so much that only 7 were produced.
