  • Summary

  • In September, US Vice President Joe Biden approved the first $900 million in funding to build electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across 35 states in the US. In the latest, Biden announced the first round of funding for a countrywide EV charging network, which will fund the installation of stations in 35 states. Biden boasted about the work of his government regarding the creation of new EV infrastructure by announcing that work was underway to bring the number of points across the United States to 500,000 stations. This was approved last September and the US government will dedicate 900 million dollars to it. In addition, the creator of Tesla, Elon Musk, reminded the US president that his company has started to open up access to its chargers, allowing other electric vehicles to use Tesla Superchargers, something that is also possible at European stations (including some Spanish ones). Notably, earlier this year, after Biden omitted to mention Tesla from his State of the Union Address, the CEO of Twitter said that nobody was watching. In contrast to Tesla, which was not mentioned in the US President's address to the country, Biden had praised the combined $18 billion expenditures by Ford and GM to develop electric vehicles. In February of this year, Biden remarked that the nation is constructing a dependable national public charging network to fight Chinese challenge in the EV market, which was his first-ever public acknowledgement of Musk-run Tesla's contribution to the industry.
