House Joins Senate in Voting Against Biden's EV Charger Rule

The resolution, which seeks to uphold Buy America requirements for EV chargers, now faces a promised veto from the White House.

The House of Representatives has joined the Senate in voting to strike down a Biden administration rule that exempted electric vehicle (EV) chargers from some Buy America requirements.
The resolution, which passed with a 209-198 vote, was supported by two Democratic Representatives and opposed by two Republican Representatives.
The Senate had previously passed the resolution in November with a 50-48 vote.
The Biden administration had argued that the waiver was necessary to build EV chargers quickly, a key part of its goal to increase electric vehicle sales.
The White House has promised to veto the resolution, which would require a two-thirds majority in each house of Congress to override.
