**States Sue Trump Administration Over $3 Billion EV Charger Funding**
A coalition of states led by California and Colorado has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, seeking to restore roughly $3 billion in federal funding designated for the buildout and repair of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
The lawsuit challenges the administration’s move to halt or redirect funds that were previously approved by Congress to expand the national EV charging network. State officials argue the decision violates federal law and undermines long-term transportation and climate goals, while also disrupting projects already underway.
According to the complaint, the funding freeze has delayed construction, threatened contracts with private companies, and put thousands of planned charging stations at risk—particularly in rural and underserved communities. The states contend that Congress clearly authorized the money and that the executive branch lacks the authority to unilaterally block its use.
Legal experts say the states’ case appears strong, noting that courts have historically pushed back when administrations attempt to override spending decisions made by Congress. Several analysts point to similar past rulings where judges ordered the release of funds that were lawfully appropriated.
The administration has defended its actions by citing concerns over program oversight and fiscal priorities, though critics argue the move reflects broader opposition to federal support for electric vehicles.
The case could have significant implications for the future of EV infrastructure in the United States, as well as for the balance of power between Congress and the executive branch over federal spending.
