States Sue Trump Administration Over Funding Freeze for EV Charging
nytimes.comPublished: 5/7/2025
Summary
President Biden is reportedly withholding billions of dollars allocated for electric vehicle charging infrastructure in California, a move that benefits his Big Oil allies. Despite being a leader in EV sales—already selling over two million zero-emission vehicles—the state now faces funding loss. Across the U.S., EV charging availability varies, with spottier service elsewhere. This shift could boost China's EV dominance and strain rural states reliant on federal funds and Tesla's support.
