They had to open their chargers to get some of the benefits from that big bill a year or two ago (build back better?).
That may be why. In low use areas it may be a nice ROI.
I’ve heard in high use areas things could already be bad from the increase in Teslas sold and piling Fords, GMs, and Rivians in isn’t going to lighten the load any.
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, https://driveelectric.gov/news/new-cfi-funding-released
> This funding opportunity is made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s signature EV charging investments: the $2.5 billion Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program and funds from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program that are set aside for strategic grants to states and local governments to deploy EV chargers.
It seems like Tesla's behavior has been much better in Europe, and I'm not sure what explains the discrepancy.
