Trump Moves To Cut Billions From Biden-Era EV Charging Program
Trump aims to claw back federal subsidies for EV infrastructure expansion.

President Donald Trump is proposing more than $4 billion in cuts to
electric vehicle charging programs as part of the administration’s broader effort to scale back federal support for the industry. [some emphasis, links added]


In Trump’s budget request for fiscal 2027, released Friday, the administration called for $4.2 billion in funding to be eliminated from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and Charging and Fueling Infrastructure grant programs.

“These programs distorted markets and consumer choice by subsidizing electric vehicle charging infrastructure,” the White House wrote.

NEVI is a program that was created by the bipartisan 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
