According to a recent article published by Forbes, Tesla attempted to win grants to cover some of the costs associated with opening new Supercharger stations in Texas. Sadly, the electric automaker didn't win the bid, and instead, Texas will reportedly go with the most expensive stations. Moreover, most charging stations are going to be located at current gas stations.
Essentially, Texas has a program to award companies with grant money to help pay for EV charging infrastructure, among other projects. The program, called Texas Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Program (TxVEMP) is using settlement money from VW's Dieselgate debacle to fund the projects.
