Wyoming Nixes Building Biden’s EV Charging Network ‘That Will Likely Fail’

wyoming interstate 80HALFWAY BETWEEN ROCK SPRINGS AND RAWLINS, Wyo. — Here, at a critical node in President Joe Biden’s plan for a national electric vehicle charging network, there is nothing.

No parking lot, no service station, and no sign that anyone wants to set up shop here.

Just some tire tracks in the snow by a barbed wire fence and the whoosh of vehicles speeding by on Interstate 80. [emphasis, links added]


This overwhelming vacancy is why Wyoming kicked up a dispute that could sap Americans’ confidence in a future EV charging network. Offered millions of federal dollars to build chargers at locations like this one, the state said no.

You got that right.  Suburban Wamsutter.  An electric vehicle cannot survive there.
