But the company isn't planning to do it anytime soon.
estimated last November that the number of EV charging stations in the U.S. stood at 53,000. These support around 140,000 chargers that are available for EV users. Since charging an EV can take much longer than filling up the gas tank of a car, the deficit of chargers becomes quite obvious.
The plan, with a budget outlay of $7.5 billion, aims to 'electrify' the 75,000 miles of the national highway system in the U.S. and make chargers accessible and convenient for EV users. To accelerate the deployment of this initiative, the U.S. government is allowing existing EV charging providers to enroll their stations into this network, provided they follow a few norms.
With billions on offer and the potential for new competition, Tesla seems to have had a change of heart and has announced plans to partially Karl Brauer: The federal government is offering $5 billion to states to improve their EV infrastructure through the construction of new EV charging stations. The goal is to create a much larger network of these stations to improve charging access for consumers throughout the country. Another $2.5 billion is available to specifically build EV charging stations in rural or low-income areas to improve EV charging access in areas where it is particularly difficult to locate.
