A federal judge has ruled against President Trump's freezing of billions meant for DC fast-chargers under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, initiated by the Biden administration. The court decision came after sixteen states and Washington D.C. sued the Trump administration, claiming overreach of authority. The judge's order allows this funding to continue, potentially liberating billions for EV infrastructure that had been stalled. The ruling emphasizes the tension between federal and state rights regarding infrastructure funding and the push for electric vehicle adoption.
U.S. District Judge Tana Lin ordered charger funding to be released in 14 states, ruling that the Trump administration overstepped its constitutional authority.
Sixteen states and D.C. sued over Trump's funding freeze, leading to a court decision that secures billions for the EV charger initiative.
