Rep. Tony Wied Pulls Plug on Biden's Wasteful Spending

WASHINGTON – Congressman Tony Wied recently introduced a bill to pull the plug on President Biden's billion-dollar boondoggle. 

Rep. Wied introduced the Unplug the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Programs Act to end the failed electric vehicle (EV) charging station programs from the so-called infrastructure bill that resulted in just 59 stations being built nationwide in over three years despite the $7.5 billion price tag. 

"I am proud to introduce the Unplug the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Programs Act,” said Wied. “The fact that the Biden Administration was only able to produce 59 stations nationwide with a $7.5 billion budget is the exact reason why the American people overwhelmingly support President Trump in reducing waste and inefficiencies in our government. As a small business owner, I could have built 1,500 more gas stations with that kind of money. It is time to repeal this funding and put an end to President Biden's wasteful vanity project."

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) introduced companion legislation in the United States Senate.

“Joe Biden’s green dreams short-circuited, and it is time to pull the plug,” said Ernst. “The EV charger boondoggle is a textbook example of waste and inefficiency that needs to be eliminated. Instead of spending hundreds of millions per charging station, I am doing something truly revolutionary in Washington – putting taxpayers first.”
