A federal judge in Seattle has ordered the Trump administration to restore funding for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program. This ruling came after a lawsuit from sixteen states claiming that Trump's executive order unlawfully suspended a $5 billion fund set up by Congress to establish charging stations for electric vehicles. The judge noted the importance of maintaining the balance of power between the Executive and Legislative branches and highlighted specific cases of financial implications stemming from the funding suspension.
Judge Tana Lin emphasized that when the Executive Branch treads upon the will of the Legislative Branch, it is the Court's responsibility to restore the balance of power.
The NEVI program was pivotal, allocating $5 billion to help construct charging stations and boost electric vehicle deployment across the states.
