Florida received $198 million from the Biden administration's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program to build out federally funded public fast chargers across the state.
Now it wants to spend that money on infrastructure for electric air taxis instead, according to a new investigation by the Miami Herald.
The state's justification for skipping EV chargers is that private companies have already built out much of America's public fast-charging network.
I roadtrip often in Upstate New York, and these Evolve NY chargers have been a lifesaver.
Instead, Florida wants to spend federal EV infrastructure dollars on technology that has yet to receive any FAA certification for commercial operations.
