The Trump administration has taken significant steps to halt the expansion of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the United States. Federal funding for a $5 billion national EV charging program has been suspended, causing confusion and frustration among state agencies. Various states, including North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Oregon, have reported uncertainties regarding their plans to build new EV charging stations due to this unexpected freeze. Automakers are urging the Department of Transportation to quickly restart the federal EV charging program, as many have been adversely affected by the funding pause. Democratic officials and transportation advocates are voicing concerns about how this action undermines efforts to promote electric vehicle adoption and sustainable transportation. The decision has resulted in funding cuts and halted projects in multiple states, leaving local plans in jeopardy.
