The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation was created to facilitate collaboration between the Department of Transportation and the Department of Energy on electric vehicle initiatives, as mandated by the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021. However, government downsizing has resulted in the office losing its workforce, leading to project delays and suspensions. Initially staffed with nearly 50 employees, the office now has no federal employees, demonstrating the challenges of maintaining new initiatives within a shrinking government framework.
After the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021 aimed to enhance coordination between federal agencies on electric vehicle chargers, the initiative has been adversely affected by government cuts.
Due to substantial cuts and a frozen work environment, the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, designed to enhance EV policy coordination, has dwindled to no full-time personnel.
