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Accordingly, the current NEVI Formula Program Guidance dated June 11, 2024, and all prior versions of this guidance are rescinded,” Biondi wrote.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.

“Trump Suspends $5 Billion Electric Vehicle Charging Station Program”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I wonder if Elon Musk Tesla is supporting this idea?
Fantastic! Let the free market decide.
They make diesel-electric locomotives, why not cars and trucks?
That picture gets extra irony points for the California license plate on the car.
He has his own network. This was mostly for other brands IMO.
Tesla builds its own charging stations...
Extra extra irony points for the gas cans attached needed to fuel the generator.
“Tesla builds its own charging stations...”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So maybe we’ll get Tesla charging stations instead then? :)
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.
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.
“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.
