The Trump administration has paused the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which is critical for expanding electric vehicle charging stations nationwide. This suspension places billions of dollars allocated to states for current and future charging projects into uncertainty. While existing contracts will remain valid, no new obligations can be undertaken immediately. The FHWA plans to revise the program in alignment with updated Department of Transportation priorities, and some experts believe that the strong bipartisan support for this initiative may shield it from potential cancellations, ensuring that funding will eventually resume.
The Trump administration has paused a federal clean energy program for electric vehicle charging stations, putting billions in allocated funds for states in limbo.
The NEVI program, established by the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, is now under review, but ongoing contracts will be honored.
Experts suggest that bipartisan support for the NEVI program could protect it from being overturned, even amid the new administration's pause.
The goal of the NEVI program was to alleviate driver anxiety about EVs by building charging stations every 50 miles on highways.
