I'm not incorrect. The program failed. 

The program has been halted.

 

Halted is not failed.

We’ll never know will we.

 

Trump ‘pulled the plug’.

 

Looking after BigOil, and car manufacturers whose best offering is a gas guzzler.

That will get challenged and in my view it’s a step backwards we need to get with the program and continue to evolve towards renewables like it or not it’s the future.

Let the private market develop the electric charging infrastructure.  This no different than the market that developed for gasoline and diesel.  The government does not need to develop a charging system. (besides, look how little Biden's party got done).

Read between lines....

Tesla already has its own charger network. 🙂

The opposite, as Tesla has their own network of CS.   So lack of subsidizing others, is a positive. 

Brilliant response!

And theres the rest of the story!

 Saving taxpayers money!

God Bless South African rich oligarchs .

I am SHOCKED president Trump has only saved over a trillion dollars in graft, shut down a program that got billions ...and built , a nation wide charging system  for EVs  and have 7 done so far. But ...in his 2 weeks ... he didn't solve the gas shortage crisis .SHOCKED I tell you! It will take a while to re-open the pipeline, take a while to issue the permits Biden wouldn't permit. And....I wonder if these geniuses know that when you plug in to charge an E car, more than likely , you are using coal. Sometimes lpg, seldom nuclear. unless you live near a damn dam, seldom hydro. So funny watchin these morons ""I don't pollute cuz I drive an ev!" Lying to themselves to feel better. 

Time to start building little bitty nuclear power generators.  Dams screw with fish and downstream issues, oil, gas, coal pollute, nuclear is dangerous, "Renewables use rare earth minerals thnat require extensive mining that destroys square miles of environment"

plus ....we aint got none! BUT...if Greenland loves us ( which they just may) we can fck NATO and protect GREENLAND! windmills last a few years....then...you have disposal issues..(plus they destroy migratory birds.)  meaning you can't dispose of the damn things, solar has the same problem. Once their life is over, you have disposal issues. Oil and gas have problems, but compared to what? (A great song Les McCann and Eddie Harris sing. I'm gonna listen to it now! Gene McDaniels wrote it, but these 2 guys play/sing it like it was made for them. 

Good luck with that entire nationwide ev charging station boondoggle, dipsticks. 3 years ago.... got 7 built. In 2 weeks you blowhards wanna know how come gas went up by 20 cents. You people REALLY have a strange way of thinking. 1st things 1st. Stop USAID. Secure border.
