The Trump administration halted a federal program that promised Nevada $38 million to build faster, more efficient electric vehicle chargers along the state’s highways.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a memo last week announcing the suspension of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI) while the U.S. Department of Transportation reevaluates the program, leaving Nevada’s $38 million in funds in limbo, according to Nevada Current.
The suspension follows a series of funding freezes under the Trump administration targeting climate-related programs financed under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act and Inflation Reduction Act, including $7 million in funding for electric school buses, and $20 million for community solar on reservations.
