Is the dream of an all-American EV charging network actually killing the rollout? In today’s episode, we dive into the massive legal battle between 20 state attorneys general and the federal government over the 100% "Buy America" mandate. We break down why $5 billion in NEVI funding is currently stuck in limbo and what it means for the future of your road trips.
