EV fail exposes Pete Buttigieg as the little cabinet secretary who couldn’t
NY Post
Rarely has a cabinet secretary done so little with such vast resources.
On the CBS show “Face the Nation,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had to defend the Biden administration’s woeful record of building new electric vehicle charging stations that are key to unlocking its hoped-for EV nirvana.
Host Margaret Brennan asked how it could be that, with $7.5 billion allocated for this purpose two years ago, the administration has managed to build eight.
Not 8,000, or even 80. Eight.
Buttigieg said President Biden plans on building 500,000 chargers by the end of the decade, and — implying this is some sort of accomplishment — “the very first handful of chargers are now already being physically built.”
It’s true that eight is better than zero, and the administration is now only 492,000 chargers away from its goal rather than 500,000 away.
