Automotive expert Lauren Fix discusses a federal judge ruling President Donald Trump can't block EV charger infrastructure funding on 'The Bottom Line.'
In a twist that highlights the tangled relationship between politics and policy, a federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from halting EV infrastructure funds for 14 states. These funds, stemming from President Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, were designed to eliminate “range anxiety” by building a nationwide EV charging network. The result was $5 billion spent and 7 EV chargers are live today.
Even the U.S. Postal Service is caught in the EV policy crossfire. Ford and Oshkosh Defense, suppliers of the agency’s Next Generation Delivery Vehicles (NGDVs), were supposed to be all electric. They were forced sell-off of thousands of EVs and charging stations under the new legislation. But the Senate parliamentarian recently ruled that such a move would require a 60-vote supermajority, effectively shelving it. Senators are rewriting the amendment as the parliamentarian has become politically charged to alter the bill.
