The Biden administration has announced it is awarding $521 million in grants for electric vehicle charging, and to help deploy over 9,000 EV charging ports, according to Reuters.

$321 million will be allocated for 41 community projects that expand EV charging infrastructure, the Energy Department and Federal Highway Administration said.

$200 million will be used to fund 10 corridor fast-charging projects.

It is hoped that the network of chargers across the US will increase to 500,000 ports, including high-speed chargers, the news agency added.
