The Trump administration has taken decisive action to suspend multiple electric vehicle (EV) charging programs, including a $5 billion initiative that aimed to expand the national network of EV chargers. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has frozen funding for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program and instructed states not to spend federal funds allocated for building EV chargers. This move has raised concerns among automakers, who are urging the USDOT to quickly restart these programs. The decision is seen as part of a broader strategy to curb progress on infrastructure related to electric vehicles, with significant implications for projects already in development, including those benefiting major automakers like Tesla. The halt on funding has prompted fears of a constitutional crisis due to the refusal to disperse transportation funds. As the future of federal EV charging efforts hangs in the balance, stakeholders are calling for clarity and a prompt resumption of support for this critical infrastructure.
