But besides a commitment to building a nationwide network of fast chargers on highways, Biden hasn’t yet clarified how, exactly, that money would be divided among incentive programs to put chargers in the homes of private drivers, the parking lots of private businesses and apartment buildings, and even city-subsidized spots on public streets and what the consequences of those choices will be for cities.
