Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm expects 200,000 new EV charging stations to be in operation by the end of the year as the administration doles out infrastructure law funding.
Why it matters: The Biden administration has taken significant flak for the glacial pace of the IIJA's $7.5 billion charger buildout.
Driving the news: Granholm told the House Oversight Committee all that money has now been released to the states.
"Twenty-two states have announced awards," she said.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect the Energy Department's contention that Granholm meant to say 200,000 charging stations overall, not 2,000 new ones.
