Biden Admin’s $7.5 Billion EV Initiative Built Fewer Than 400 Charging Ports in 3 Years, Watchdog Says
23rd July 2025
The Biden administration’s $7.5 billion program to install electric-vehicle charging stations across the United States has delivered fewer than 400 charging ports since November 2021, according to a Tuesday report by the Government Accountability Office.
The EV charging initiative, part of former president Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, has built just 384 charging ports at 68 stations in 16 states as of April 2025, Reuters reported after reviewing the GAO’s report. The figure amounts to less than 0.2 percent of the roughly 219,000 public EV charging ports operating nationwide.
“Wider adoption of [electric] vehicles may be slowed because there aren’t enough chargers available across the country,” the GAO wrote in its summary of the report, noting that the program’s oversight office “has not defined performance goals with measurable targets and time frames for its activities.”
Say what you will about Democrats, they can sure spend money. (Not their own, of course….)

About $20,000,000 each…reasonable.
