U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg defended the Biden administration’s push to construct half a million electric vehicle (EV) charging stations along U.S. highways by 2030 after being questioned over how just eight have been built since President Biden signed the legislation two years ago.
Buttigieg appeared Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation," where he tried to ease doubts about reaching Biden’s goal of 500,000 chargers by the end of the decade when asked why it wasn’t happening more quickly.
"Now, in order to do a charger, it's more than just plugging a small device into the ground," the secretary said. "There's utility work, and this is also really a new category of federal investment. But we've been working with each of the 50 states.
"Seven or eight, though?" host Margaret Brennan said with a laugh.
"Again by 2030, 500,000 chargers," Buttigieg maintained. "And the very first handful of chargers are now already being physically built."
