Were people actually expecting the construction to start immediately or something? There’s absolutely wrenches being thrown at the process, and all of the planning and construction time on top of it all.

Especially right after COVID when equipment shortages were still a big issue! If these pundits wanted chargers available today, maybe they shouldn’t have focused on churning out EV-skepticism for the better part of a decade.
Tesla’s Supercharging network is practically the gold-standard of how fast deployments can be done, and even they need a couple months for each site. That timeframe is only possible after a decade of installations and spending hundreds of millions on process optimization. It’s going to take some of these smaller firms some time to get the hang of it, and that’s perfectly okay.
The plan all along was to complete everything by 2027, with construction starting in '24 and '25. Every state I’ve cared to look at has a published plan and timeline. 🤷♂️

It’s going to be 90% planning and permitting. 10% construction. There’s very little construction needed. (It may even be 99:1).
