I think this is failing at accountability and achieving something more like empty criticism. If it was only a balanced commentary on the pros & cons of public funding for these things, I'd be more inclined to like it.
TBH, there's a lot to be said for cutting back public funding. Wal-Mart is massively increasing investment in their own charging network (not EA any more!). They are being joined by Circle-K, BP, Pilot/EVGo, and many others that are making investments in a lot more than just government funded NEVI sites. I don't really think we even need NEVI at this point and we especially don't need state funding.
But I've seen too many articles from him to see this as nuance and policy shaping. Its just a sugar rush for people who agree with his anti-Tesla and virtually anti-EV style of writing. There's little real informing here.
