Biden Finally Built an Electric Vehicle Charging Station. People Aren’t Using It.
14th December 2023
The Biden administration touted the opening of its first taxpayer-funded electric vehicle charging station as proof that “Bidenomics is delivering for Americans.” Just days after the opening, the station sat empty.
The inaugural station—which opened on Dec. 8, two years after the administration allocated $7.5 billion to build electric vehicle chargers across the country—is located in London, Ohio, a small town situated just southwest of Columbus. The station features an Arby’s, a Cinnabon, and plenty of merchandise for truckers. It also features few to no users.
“At about 10:30 a.m. on a Tuesday, nobody was using the chargers,” Inside Climate News reported after visiting the station.
