I said will which means it's in the future.
The IRA EV grants can be found here: https://www.atlasevhub.com/materials/the-inflation-reduction-act-ev-provisions/ https://www.atlasevhub.com/materials/the-inflation-reduction... and if you think Tesla is not going to apply (amd receive) most of the $7 billion for infrastructure, I don't know what to tell you (I'm willing take the other side of your bet in this though). Earlier this year, most in the industry assumed CCS networks would get the money because the law was written with a requirement for interoperability (3 or more makes).
Time line of events:
2014: Tesla opens up its charger patents
[Crickets]
2022H2: IRA signed with billions available to fund interoperable charging networks (i.e. CCS at tine of signing)
2022 November: Tesla renames standard to NACS.
2023: Tesla signs agreements with other manufacturers to use it's network.
Do you suppose it was a coincidence that Tesla's standardization and agreements came within months of billions of federal money being put in the table? Billions that would have gone to an competing charging networks/competing standards?
