Have feedback for us? Just hit reply - we'd love to hear from you! TOGETHER WITH [Sponsor Logo](   Port-shaped problems Electric vehicles have been a big, buzzy part of the Biden administration’s green ambitions for years now, but there’s still a fundamental issue at the core of the rEVolution: Getting enough chargers on the road to ensure drivers can get from A to B without running out of E. Based on the current growth rate of the number of charging ports on US roads, though, America looks to be miles off the target pace. Under the current plan, 500,000 American-assembled chargers are to be built by 2030… but there were only 64,212 public chargers available in the US last year. And, if progress continues at the same rate that’s been observed since 2014, only half of this goal might be reached by the end of the decade. Even the most fervent EV advocates might be gripped by a sense of range anxiety when faced with many of the current figures. Of the 81,000 miles of US highways that are designated as [Alternative Fuel Corridors]( — major national roads that are equipped with the necessary infrastructure to support EVs — only 30% actually meet the current criteria.
