In response to the Trump administration's cuts to funding for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, 16 states, including California and New York, have initiated lawsuits against the federal government. Scheduled funds for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, established under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, are being contested. California's Governor Gavin Newsom expressed strong discontent, arguing that the funding cuts benefit China at the expense of American jobs and innovation. The suit claims the Department of Transportation acted without authority in halting the allocated funds, crucial for electric vehicle development in the U.S.
President Trump has unleashed an attack on an increasingly popular consumer choice-the electric vehicle, the coalition of state attorneys general said in a lawsuit.
When America retreats, China wins. President Trump's illegal action withholding funds for electric vehicle infrastructure is yet another Trump gift to China-ceding American innovation.
Instead of hawking Teslas on the White House lawn, Trump could actually help Elon-and the nation-by following the law and releasing this bipartisan funding.
The complaint argues that the Department of Transportation lacks the authority to hold back funds that Congress approved for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program.
