The Trump administration has halted funding for a $5 billion program that Congress created to help states build out their electric vehicle charging network. The move comes after two federal judges ordered the Trump administration to end its wide-ranging freeze on federal aid. The FHA letter said states would not be able to submit new plans — and thus access the funds — until the Department of Transportation updates the NEVI program guidance. DOT's leadership plans to bring NEVI into compliance with an order from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to prioritize funding for communities that have high birth and marriage rates and for those that enforce federal immigration law, according to the letter.
