Although I understand the sentiment, the instrument under which the funding has been granted is called NEVI and has pretty strict requirements about what gets built (150kW rated, payment terminal equipped charging stations along major roads) as well as transparency requirements about reliability.
Can they just not build them and keep the money though?
Looking at the several billion dollars that we gave the telecommunication companies over the last two decades for "nation wide high speed fiber infrastructure," I would say the answer is not only yes, but we will keep giving them more money for the same damn thing.
Yeah, that came to mind too
