Oregon, other states sue to overturn Trump administration’s rollback of billions for EV chargers

  • On Wednesday, Oregon and 15 other states filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's halt of billions in federal funds for electric vehicle chargers nationwide.
  • The lawsuit stems from President Trump's January 2025 executive order directing federal agencies to pause disbursement of Congressionally approved NEVI funds under the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
  • The coalition argues the Federal Highway Administration illegally revoked state plans and withheld roughly $5 billion aimed at expanding EV charging, threatening climate goals and green job growth.
  • Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield warned, "Oregon could lose more than $26 million," while California Governor Gavin Newsom said withholding funds would "kill thousands of U.S. Jobs" and let "China win."
  • The lawsuit seeks a court order to declare the funding freeze unlawful and ensure continued support for EV infrastructure critical to states' climate targets and infrastructure development.
