Without going through everything with a fine tooth comb I imagine some of the money may have been spent upgrading the electric grid to support the chargers.

Fast chargers as I understand are more taxing to the electric grid and so are not simply able to be placed just anywhere there is electricity. Additionally a source paper in the govtech.com article also emphasizes looking at coverage rather than number of chargers. That is wanting to have chargers spread out such a way that people can complete longer trips.
