Is Florida’s proposed infrastructure law anti-EV or pro-competition?
Charged’s home state of Florida is something of an EV hotspot—there are an estimated 58,000 electric vehicles in the Sunshine State, and according to the DOE, Florida has the third-largest number of charging stations in the US, behind only California and New York. This progress is not the result of any particular pro-EV policies of… Read more »
