Right now one of the glaring reasons not to own an electric car is the charging.

Gas stations are a dime a dozen, but charging plugs in much of the country are few and far between. That may not be the case for long if President Joe Biden’s plan comes to fruition.

The US Departments of Energy and Transportation announced on Thursday that they will dole out nearly $5 billion over the next five years to help states beef up access to electric-vehicle charging. It’s part of the White House’s broader goal to curb climate change and get more Americans into zero-emission vehicles. 

Biden aims for the US to have 500,000 public EV chargers by 2030, roughly 400,000 more plugs than are available today.
