The Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan Aims To Kickstart Electric Vehicles

The video discusses the U.S. plan to build 500,000 EV charging stations to support Biden's goal of having electric vehicles make up half of all new car sales by 2030. Despite federal funding, experts believe more is needed to boost EV adoption. Range anxiety is a major concern, with infrastructure concentrated in major cities.
