Nevi Program Pause Won’T Derail Ev Charging Expansion

The U.S. Department of Transportation has moved to halt the $5 billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, forcing states to cancel their plans for building electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. However, it seems unlikely this change in policy will have a major impact on the nation’s growing EV charging network. Despite the temporary pause, ongoing private and public sector efforts, along with previous infrastructure investments, are expected to continue expanding the availability of charging stations across the country. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) directed state transportation directors to “decertify” their plans, which had already been used to begin the construction of more than 30 charging stations, with many more in progress
