Trump administration orders states to stop spending money for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Industry leaders say customer demand will continue to drive growth in the EV charging network.

Trump has slammed federal funding for EV chargers as “an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars” The administration may need an act of Congress for this, and it’s unclear there will be one.

The fear for some is that delaying critical charging infrastructure could have a domino effect on the EV transition, because it could slow sales.

“As the world is shifting to electric vehicles, any slowdown will put the U.S. auto industry further behind,” a non-partisan group says.
