$100 Million Allocated to Fix Broken Electric Vehicle Chargers Nationwide

The Department of Transportation is providing $100 million to fix and replace broken electric vehicle chargers across the US.
As of September, over 6,000 public EV chargers were listed as unavailable nationwide.
The money comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed in 2021 that allotted $7.5 billion for EV charging infrastructure.
A recent survey found 1 in 5 visits to a public charger ends without fueling up, often due to broken chargers.
The federal government aims to build a network of 500,000 reliable public charging ports by 2030.
