Judge Blocks Trump Administration From Withholding EV Charger Funds. A U.S. judge has temporarily halted the Trump administration from cutting billions in EV charger funding to 14 states, including California, New York, and Illinois. The ruling comes after the administration suspended the $5 billion program launched under President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act. States argued the sudden policy change threatens EV access, climate goals, and local green investments. Judge Tana Lin said the states are likely to succeed in their legal challenge, citing harm from lost funding and disrupted plans. The ruling takes effect in seven days, giving the administration time to appeal. California's attorney general blasted the move as favoring "Big Oil," while the federal government has yet to respond. This case is part of broader Republican efforts to roll back EV support, including ending tax credits and repealing emissions rules.
