allocated == money handed out

in accounting rules, it's spent money. the notes say that 61 ports have been built from that allocated money.

like I said, I would love to see the cost breakdown. is all that allocated money spent? are some projects still being constructed? three years seems like a long time to get 61 ports when you allocated $2B.




I'm more concerned with whether the entities that were handed the money have themselves spent it yet.


I'll be honest and tell you I didn't look into the specifics of this project.

My guess would be that the money is also allocated for an X amount of sites / charging ports still in progress. Or do they only allocate the money after the site is fully operational?

If that's the case, I think saying '2B spent for 61 ports' is disingenuous at best.
