California and 16 other states are suing the Trump administration for halting federal money slated to build more electric vehicle chargers. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta accused the Trump administration of unlawfully withholding funding approved by Congress in the lawsuit filed in federal court Wednesday. The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program had dedicated $5 billion to expand clean car charging across the country, including more than $300 million for projects in California.

Counter-sue for interference with ICE enforcement for twice as much.
we’re broke.
I think it’s safe to assume whatever money they think they’re due would not have built a single charging station. It’s just graft.
Copper thieves agree!
While California shuts down refineries and pushes gas up towards $6 — and it’s going higher too
So the state is fussing about $300 million in funding, or about $300 per EV owner. That seems a bit much. Especially when most charging is done at home. Unless you can't charge at home, you need a road-side charger only if you take your EV on long trips. Does it seem realistic to expect $300 per EV owner for just his couple of road trips?
Build them yourselves, whiners.
Ask Buttgiggy for the money.
Remind me again. How many EV chargers did SloJo build for the $5 billion?
The PROBLEM IS
time after time the billions just disappear and JackTaxpayer gets shiffed.
Especially when Callyfornya is involved
So um, NO. Money.
Catch a clue, they want to steal that money. Maybe one or two charging stations would get finished.
Learn to ride the train......😳
How much Federal money has California already received for charging stations and how many were built. Let start with those numbers.
they need money to squander
Say, didn’t the Biden administration give billions to a company that was to produce charging stations for EVs and they only built 7?
“Nov 24, 2024”Joe Biden’s administration invested $7.5 billion into EV charging stations, but somehow only built 7 or 8 stations in about 2 years, and now people want to know where all the money went,”
I LIKE your idea! A+++
There’s an idea that makes some sense. Quit pushing those EVs.
DC is out of money.
CA is out of money.
You know what wise people do when they’re out of money.
How many have they built, where, and at what cost?
