I'm OK with grants for certain things/times/whatever. But it seems like if the owner is worth billions and comes to the gov't for a handout, the gov't should just tax them correctly and say,"No you."

Infrastructure should be public anyways, so instead of giving grants to private for profit companies, it would instead use that money to just fund the infrastructure.

Government grants should come with government share % of the company.

Or at least with heavy requirements and obligations like every government "grant" for normals people.

Oh I think it’s all going how it was intended. Just not going according to the public justification.

Although I understand the sentiment, the instrument under which the funding has been granted is called NEVI and has pretty strict requirements about what gets built (150kW rated, payment terminal equipped charging stations along major roads) as well as transparency requirements about reliability.
