EV Charging Standards and Build America, Buy America Implementation Plan Positions States to Deploy First $1.5 billion in EV charging formula funding / EV Charging Competitive Grant Program for Communities Coming Soon / WASHINGTON – Today, the Biden-Harris Administration announced its latest actions to advance the President’s vision of building 500,000 EV chargers by 2030 and delivering a convenient, reliable, and Made-in-America electric vehicle (EV) charging network.
