The first electric vehicle charging station funded by a $7.5 billion U.S. government program has begun operating in Ohio, the White House said as the government ramps up charging to address a key concern of potential buyers.
As of December, the United States has more than 165,000 public charging ports and since the start of the Biden administration, the number of publicly available fast charging ports has increased by more than 70%, the White House said.
All 50 states have developed plans for building EV infrastructure “and many states have begun issuing proposals or awarded contracts for installing” charges funded under the program, the White House said.
