Uh, wow.
Okay, I had to take a breath. Okay, you may want to push fast forward on that recording your are watching, the number you quoted was from a bill Biden proposed in 2021, and the GOP shot down.
The program he just signed into law is different:
Department of Energy
"The program will provide nearly $5 billion over five years to help states create a network of EV charging stations along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors, particularly along the Interstate Highway System. The total amount available to states in Fiscal Year 2022 under the NEVI Formula Program is $615 million."
That's about $16 per tax payer spread over a period of 5 years. Or about $3.20 per year. .
