I work in the economic development field and deal with state and federal grants (and accompanying capital projects) on a daily basis. A $100.0 million investment nationwide is basically scraps and press fodder. That's nowhere near large enough investment to make a significant impact on the necessary infrastructure for a total EV rollout.
