There isn&#8217;t a good software tool that helps EV owners plan their trips.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ABC News received similar stories from other drivers, who shared their experiences of finding fast charging stations for road trips, and then being stuck for hours while they dealt with broken chargers and lines. As the Biden administration pushes to switch the public from gas-powered cars towards electric, these logistical difficulties are a result. <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/biden-pushes-for-50-percent-electric-vehicle-sales-by-2030\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Setting a goal<\/a> By 2030, electric vehicles will account for 50% of all auto sales.<\/p>\n<p>ABC News reported on the challenges of charging electric cars. Even though drivers can reach chargers easily, some chargers are not as advanced as Tesla&#8217;s Level 2 chargers. These chargers take hours to charge an electric car. ABC News spoke with a frustrated driver who said that he had seen charging areas occupied by gas cars, broken chargers and charging cords not reaching his vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Extreme weather conditions can be more challenging because the range of electric vehicles is reduced when the heat is applied.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You use the luxuries \u2026 and the range plummets,&#8221; ABC News was told by one driver. Another driver claimed that she was left at a station freezing cold for hours after the charging cable got stuck in her Tesla.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s push to electric vehicles has drawn criticism for logistical issues, as well as for how green policies would be beneficial to China, the dominant manufacturer of electric vehicle battery batteries.
