This comment from the source really resonates with me:

Great to see charger infrastructure being built out, but giving public money to private businesses for privately-owned infrastructure will always baffle me. If the public is paying for this stuff, it should be publicly-owned. Full stop.

Let's not have another ISP situation where tons of government money is effectively funneled to those owners rather than focused on public good. This private ownership with government money makes me nervous about the long term implications.
