A coalition of 16 states and the District of Columbia has launched a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging it unlawfully halted $5 billion in taxpayer funding for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
The suit, filed April 7, 2025, in the District Court for the Western District of Washington, spearheaded by attorneys general from California, Colorado, and Washington, centers on the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program, established under the Biden administration’s pork-filled, debt-exploding, 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The plaintiffs claim the termination of these funds—$3.3 billion of which was already allocated—violates congressional authority and threatens their green dreams. But these are pipedreams, nightmares for taxpayers and devotees of truth, and insults to those who laid out in the Constitution.
