Overview

• As of April 2025, only 384 charging ports at 68 stations in 16 states have been built under the $7.5 billion infrastructure initiative, the GAO reported.
• The joint office overseeing the rollout has not established measurable targets or timelines for station deployment, according to the GAO.
• California and 15 other states sued the Transportation Department in May, alleging at least $3 billion in approved EV charging grants were illegally withheld.
• A federal judge in June ordered restoration of EV funding to most of the suing states, but the program remains suspended pending departmental review.
• The General Services Administration canceled 32 charging projects worth over $23 million in April and President Trump is seeking to rescind $6 billion in unspent funds, deepening deployment uncertainties.
