The Western Journal: Buttigieg Tries Fact-Checking Elon and Don Jr. on EVs
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg engaged in a public dispute with Donald Trump Jr. and Elon Musk over the cost and progress of the Biden administration's electric vehicle charging station initiative. Critics highlighted that $7.5 billion was allocated for only 20 operational stations, raising concerns about the program's efficiency and return on investment.
Buttigieg defended the program, clarifying that the budget is for a broader initiative aimed at building a national charging network by 2030, with more stations planned in the future. However, the significant disparity in costs between government-funded and privately funded charging stations has drawn skepticism about the program's effectiveness.
