Seventeen states are suing President Donald Trump 's administration for withholding billions of dollars in funding for the buildout of electric vehicle chargers, according to a federal lawsuit announced Wednesday.
The move comes after the Trump administration in February directed states to stop spending money for electric vehicle charging infrastructure that was allocated under President Joe Biden. The program set out to allocate $5 billion over five years to states, of which an estimated $3.3 billion had already been made available.
