The Trump administration has directed states to halt new spending for the $5 billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, aimed at expanding EV charging. While states can continue receiving reimbursements for projects underway, ongoing delays have affected the opening of new charging stations. Industry leaders express concern that this could negatively impact the U.S. transition to electric vehicles, as public demand for chargers remains strong despite federal funding uncertainties. Legal implications surround the suspension and whether new legislation may be required to fully eliminate remaining funds.
