Tweeters blatantly lying as usual. Regards swallowing it as usual

After a 5 second search, I found the admin spent $134k per charger. At $1 billion per charger, their claimed price is 7500 times the real price

$15 million to the County of Contra Costa in California to build a total of 52 fast chargers and 60 Level 2 chargers at 15 branch locations of the county's library system.

They got 7-8 charging stations done in 3ish years. They allocated 7.5 billion for the program. Thats bad. Until they deliver more the landed cost to the taxpayer looks like the op tweet

The website I linked says the listed grants were only awarded a few months ago, so it wasn't spent in 2021 like they claim

Obviously, companies are more judicious with spending than the feds, but the tweeter is still a liar

They just awarded $600 million in grants in January of this year to cities who will then award contracts, so the part about being painfully slow is true

So they just pocketed the remaining 7 billion? That's even worse
