Tesla Inc. is seeking nearly $100 million from the US to build nine electric semi-truck charging stations along a route from the southern border of Texas to northern California, according to emails seen by Bloomberg News.
That would be an excellent start, and a great investment for the US government. I’m fine if Tesla dominates chargers, since they seem to be the only company that wants to.
However, I wish there were more details, starting with whether that includes getting the power to them, and whether local power companies are willing to commit in a reasonable timeframe

In Texas, I believe Tesla is also an energy company, which will work in their favor to scale it in the state boundaries.
