The American EV boom is about to begin. Does the US have the power to charge it?

States have plans to ban gas-powered cars and the White House wants chargers along highways, but implementation is a challenge

Speaking in front of a line of the latest electric vehicles (EVs) at this month's North American International Auto Show, President Joe Biden declared: The great American road trip is going to be fully electrified."

Most vehicles on the road are still gas guzzlers, but Washington is betting big on change, hoping that major federal investment will help reach a target set by the White House for 50% of new cars to be electric by 2030. But there are roadblocks - specifically when it comes to charging them all. Range anxiety," or how far one can travel before needing to charge, is still cited as a major deterrent for potential EV buyers.
