How many of the promised 30,000 charging kiosks have the seven carmakers installed?

In July of 2023, seven car makers (BMW Group, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz Group and Stellantis) announced (blog article) that Real Soon Now they would install thirty thousand EV charging kiosks.  The title of this blog article says it all:

The answer is zero.    Not one of the 30,000 promised EV charging kiosks has been installed, as of April 2024.

The seven car makers have given a name (blog article) to the entity that will install the 30,000 EV charging kiosks — Ionna.  And the entity has a web site.  As best I can see from clicking around on the web site, it is content-free.

Urging the Federal Highway Administration to get the right answer on federally funded charging plugs

On February 28, 2023 the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) picked CCS as the type of DC fast charging plug that would receive $7½ billion in federal funding.  After that, every US car maker and every provider of DC fast charging services announced that they would migrate to NACS (Tesla-style, also called J3400) charging plugs.  Now the FHWA has requested comments as to whether the $7½ billion should continue to get spent on CCS plugs, or whether the money should go to J3400 plugs.  As of today, 62 comments have been filed, nearly all of which say that the correct answer is “J3400”.  One of the comments has a far higher word count than any of the others, and you can see it here, archived here.
