Sounds like a politically charged nonsense without context. Like 2 years to purchase and deploy a product someone else engineered - sure, I'd expect more. Two years to build a high voltage/current device that is relatively safe for all the brands of stupid the public comes in... Yeah, I sure as hell hope they test and iterate all that engineering before they go to scale. The last thing we need is another idiot attempt to disappear the problems by simply never making a written record, or murdering all the whistleblowers.

I agree as long as the money is actually going toward building out the charging network and not just getting sucked up by corporations like the ISPs that were supposed to improve our network infrastructure.

Although it would be nice for them to let us know what is happening and when we can expect some real improvements. Maybe that info is out there, but I haven't seen it and this biased reporter sure isn't looking to do any real journalism.

Just Bezos whining that he isn't getting them subsidies.

It reminds me of people blaming a new leader for the problems the old leader created, as of they can be unravelled and resolved in a time short of several years.
