The Trump administration has taken steps to freeze a $5 billion bipartisan grant program aimed at assisting states in constructing electric vehicle chargers along highways and roadways, as per a recent Department of Transportation memo.
The memo reveals that state plans approved by the previous administration under President Joe Biden to expand charging networks have been put on hold until new guidance is issued by the current administration, expected in the spring. Consequently, federal grant funds for states working on charging station projects will not be disbursed.
