Rothmus 🏴(@Rothmus):Tesla now runs half of America’s public DC fast chargers with over 40,000 ports, while the $7.5B federal NEVI program had opened just 384 by April 2025. One company built the backbone of the national network with its own capital while the government spent billions and produced a rounding error. Private industry is still outpacing the mandate, and that gap isn’t narrowing anytime soon.
