Watchdog says Trump administration illegally halted EV charger funding
The Trump administration is breaking the law by withholding funds appropriated by Congress for a national electric vehicle (EV) charging network, a government watchdog says.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allocated $5 billion for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which set out to help build a national network of EV chargers.
In February, the Department of Transportation (DOT) said it would rescind all guidance related to the program and that “no new obligations may occur” under the existing program until it issues updated guidance.
