7.5 billion sounds like a lot of money, but even at the most reasonable costs it doesn't build many charging stations. You need to buy land, the chargers, install electric service to the land, install the chargers, build the parking spaces - that is at minimum. Realistically you really should be building restrooms and something to do while waiting for the charge (think play ground and walking path - though stores and restaurants are also useful)

These are grants and isn't meant to fully cover the cost. Depending on who is going to own the station. They also need to chip in the cost. Just like how EV tax credit works.
