Show full summary
- State and local transportation agencies would lose grant and formula funding tied to IIJA charging programs because the bill rescinds unobligated amounts and would terminate the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program.
- Public drivers and communities would see fewer federal dollars available for charging stations, which could affect where publicly funded chargers are built.
- Companies, contractors, and local projects that rely on federal EV charging grants would lose those funding opportunities and related program support.

End federal electric vehicle charger funding
If enacted, this bill would stop two federal programs that fund electric vehicle charging stations. It would terminate the national formula program for public chargers starting on the date of enactment and rescind unspent money set aside for that program. It would also remove two specific grant authorities in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and in 23 U.S.C. §151, including striking subsection (f). State transportation agencies, local governments, charger developers, and drivers would lose those federal funding options and could see slower or fewer public chargers built.
