The Trump Administration has announced the suspension of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program (NEVI) to realign federal spending priorities. This decision stems from criticisms regarding the Biden-era program, which allocated $5 billion but resulted in only limited new charging infrastructure. A Federal Highway Administration letter confirmed that all state deployment plans are on hold until new guidelines are established. This pause emphasizes Trump's commitment to reducing federal expenses amid ongoing efforts to manage government efficiency under Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.
The Trump Administration's halt to the NEVI program reflects a broader shift in federal priorities, aiming to cut spending and reassess the EV funding strategy.
The NEVI program, initiated by the previous administration, has underperformed, opening only a fraction of the anticipated charging stations despite a hefty budget.
