I forget, did the government also build all the diesel and gas truck stops and gas stations? Is it such a money loser that the government has to be called on to foot the bill?
The money is only going to the big three GM, Ford and Chrysler since they have the UAW. Tesla uses their own money.

Tesla Semi gets out for a quick charge at Megacharger
Putting those 2 links together - now it makes sense.... I believe KOA has (or is trying to) figure out a way to use the stimulus money and get some for their parks. Adding EV stations, now they can get some of that money. Probably improve their power in general. - fj12ryderExplorer IIII forget, did the government also build all the diesel and gas truck stops and gas stations?

Should also happen with national park and forest campgrounds with the administration's build back better plans.
