Is there a good report card on how well Biden stuck to his promises for his term? Something neutral-ish and/or nuanced? There's this, but it's hard to know how much is just the administration pumping itself up. It's also kind of vague:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/therecord/

There's articles like this that talk about only 7 EV stations being built out of $7.5B spent, but from what I understand that's because the money was spent on setting up standards so that we'd get stations that actually worked and could self-report if they were broken, as opposed to a bunch of crap, and things should move much more quickly now.

First of all you know everything has to pass congress right? These aren't "promises" they are policies. It's very important for Dems to win congress too. That said, I think that most of the 10 policies Biden worked out with Bernie Sanders were things that Biden was able to get passed thru congress.
