Dude, where’s my EV charging station?
Widespread access to charging stations is key to getting drivers to go electric. But the businesses who can build those stations still aren’t sure how they’ll make money. Today, we’ll discuss the EV charging station dilemma. Plus, we’ll highlight an investigation into the failures of Florida’s foster care system. And, tell you about the women making history at the men’s World Cup. Then, Kimberly defends her status as a Midwesterner.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “Why America Doesn’t Have Enough EV Charging Stations” from The Wall Street Journal
- “Austan Goolsbee Named Next President of the Chicago Fed” from The Wall Street Journal
- “Innocence Sold: Foster system a pipeline for child sex traffickers” from The Sun Sentinel
- “Referee Stéphanie Frappart Will Lead First All-Woman Team at World Cup” from The New York Times
- “NASA Awards $57M Contract to Build Roads on the Moon” from Nextgov
