Schumer is particularly critical of the lack of funding for electric vehicles, charging stations, and clean energy technology.

The bipartisan infrastructure bill is currently being negotiated by a group of 21 senators, including Republican Senator Rob Portman and Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema.
