House GOP Demand Answers On Biden’s Stalled-Out Taxpayer-Funded EV Charger Program
Republican Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, and H. Morgan Griffith of Virginia wrote to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm [pictured above] on Thursday to inquire about the implementation of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program. [emphasis, links added]
Both these initiatives were designed to subsidize the expansion of the nation’s EV charger network created by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), often called the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
While the White House has touted the IIJA programs as key tools to rapidly build the charging infrastructure needed to realize its lofty EV targets, logistical problems and a tepid market for EVs have combined [to complicate the initiatives significantly].
