  • Seventeen states sue DOT after the sudden freeze of electric vehicle infrastructure funding, jeopardizing clean energy projects nationwide.

In a lawsuit filed against the U.S. Department of Transportation, a coalition of 24 states, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, challenges the DOT's decision to freeze $4.9 billion in electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure funds. The states argue that the freeze, announced in March, violates the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which allocated $7.5 billion over five years to expand EV charging networks. The lawsuit claims that the DOT's action hampers the states' ability to meet climate goals and transition to clean energy, as the funds are crucial for building out EV charging stations. The states are seeking a court order to release the funds and ensure the continued development of EV infrastructure.
