The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure grant program is paused by the Trump administration, which aims to reverse Biden's policies promoting electric vehicles. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced the halt of new approval plans for EV chargers to align with the administration's emphasis on traditional gas-powered vehicles. States that have not utilized federal funds from NEVI will not be penalized during this pause. Updated guidance for the program is anticipated by spring, allowing for public comment before implementing changes to the funding strategy.
The Trump administration's halt of the NEVI program reflects a shift in priorities towards traditional vehicles and a reversal of Biden-era electric vehicle initiatives.
FHWA's memo states the NEVI program will pause to realign with the new administration's priorities, suspending the approval of new EV charging plans for fiscal years.
