Nope.
Your own article states:
'The seven charging stations, with a total of 38 ports, had been
delivered in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and Hawaii by government funding.
Many more chargers are expected to come online this year, FHWA said.
Some 33 states have either issued proposals or awarded contracts, and
eight states have broken ground on projects.'
But you didn't want to quote that part...
...did you?
So that's... ...12 states.
And what did my article state?
'There are currently 214 operational chargers in 12 states that have
been funded through the law'
