Trump Suspends $5 Billion Electric Vehicle Charging Station Program
Breitbart ^ | 02/07/2025 | Sean Moran

Posted on 02/07/2025 1:58:22 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

President Donald Trump’s administration halted the $5 billion Biden electric vehicle charging program, which has been criticized for its poor production of charging stations.

Emily Biondi, the associate administrator for the Office of Planning, Environment, and Realty, in a letter to the state Department of Transportation directors on Thursday, said the administration has suspended the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program.

“The new leadership of the Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) has decided to review the policies underlying the implementation of the NEVI Formula Program. Accordingly, the current NEVI Formula Program Guidance dated June 11, 2024, and all prior versions of this guidance are rescinded,” Biondi wrote.

“As result of the rescission of the NEVI Formula Program Guidance, FHWA is also immediately suspending the approval of all State Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment plans for all fiscal years. Therefore, effective immediately, no new obligations may occur under the NEVI Formula Program until the updated final NEVI Formula Program Guidance is issued and new State plans are submitted and approved,” the official continued.

He’ll get over it when Hogg has him installed as the head of DOGE.

NATIONAL DEBT

1/21/2025 $36,218,258,403,326.35

2/6/2025 $36,220,361,045,794.81

It will be interesting to see if Trump will keep the national debt flat in 2025. So far so good!!!!

They make diesel-electric locomotives, why not cars and trucks?

That picture gets extra irony points for the California license plate on the car.

I agree that it’s an interesting dynamic. Fortunately, a liberal judge has denied Musk’s interest in Tesla. Perhaps Musk is now more focused on DOGE.

electric vehicle charging program

Another COMPLETELY unconstitutional federal act that needs to be killed along with the rest of these insane federal acts and agencies to which the Constitution gives the feds NO authority (AKA "THE DEEP STATE" AKA "THE SWAMP").

The $5 billion dollar project has installed 8 charging stations. $20,000 for each station and the rest was laundered back to politicians and bureaucrats and corrupt corporations.

They were supposed to build universal charging stations, which shouldn’t have been that hard, but couldn’t even figure that out.

And taxpayers are supposed to pay for such glaring mistakes...

Thank God, Trump is ending the Twilight Zone we have been living in for so long.

He can still install them....just on his own dime. I don’t think any of this was to go in his pocket.
