More than a million electric vehicles were sold in the U.S. this year, but despite that some automakers announced a slowdown in EV production this fall. As more drivers make the switch to electric, the availability of public places to juice up those cars hasn\u2019t exactly kept pace. Back in 2021, the federal government set aside $7.5 billion to build tens of thousands of chargers across the country. But the project has barely broken ground in the two years since. Marketplace\u2019s Lily Jamali spoke with Marketplace reporter Meghan McCarty Carino about the issue, which she\u2019s been following as both a reporter and an EV driver. She said relying on public chargers has only become harder.
