Sixteen states, the District of Columbia, and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro are taking the Trump administration to court, challenging the decision to freeze over $2 billion in funding earmarked for crucial electric vehicle infrastructure. This massive legal action, filed on Tuesday, marks the second time this year that states have been forced to sue the current administration over withheld funds intended to build out America’s EV charging network.
The money in question was previously approved by Congress during the administration of Joe Biden, specifically to strengthen the infrastructure needed to support the growing number of EVs on the road. Despite that Congressional approval, President Trump suspended the funding, calling the infrastructure programs “an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars.”
