Electric vehicles are far from a new phenomenon, but the sparseness of public, non-Tesla charging stations along the highway can still make taking a road trip in other types of EVs somewhat harrowing.

Bloomberg Government reporters Kellie Lunney and Lillianna Byington discovered this first hand when they went on a road trip to test out the country's federally funded EV infrastructure and almost got stranded on the side of the road.

On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, Kellie and Lillianna join us to talk about the federal program meant to boost that infrastructure and why its rollout has been slow. They also talk about the impact this is having on EV drivers and the EV market as a whole.
