A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the Trump Administration from withholding funds for electric vehicle chargers.
In 2021, the Democrat-controlled Congress gave Joe Biden $7.5 billion to install electric vehicle chargers all over the country and only 7 or 8 EV charging stations have been built. It’s a total scam.
According to 2021 analysis from the New York Times, $1.2 trillion of the ‘Infrastructure’ bill would be spent over 8 years and $550 billion will go to roads, bridges, rail lines, electric vehicles, water systems and other programs.
Electric vehicles are unpopular, expensive and bad for the environment but the Biden Regime is going into overdrive to force car companies to produce more EVs while they crack down on gas-powered vehicle tailpipe emissions.
President Trump vowed to immediately dismantle Joe Biden’s insane electric vehicle mandate.
Earlier this year the US Transportation Department suspended Biden’s EV charging station scam.
On Tuesday, Seattle-based US District Judge Tana Lin, a Biden appointee, temporarily blocked Trump from withholding EV charger funds to 14 states.

A U.S. judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from withholding funds awarded to 14 states for electric vehicle charger infrastructure.
U.S. District Judge Tana Lin in Seattle, Washington, ruled that the states were likely to succeed in a lawsuit alleging that the federal government was illegally withholding billions of dollars awarded to states for building EV charging stations.
The U.S. Transportation Department in February suspended the EV charging program, which was part of former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, and rescinded prior approval of states’ spending plans.
Lin’s ruling did not apply to District of Columbia, Minnesota and Vermont, which also sued over the funding rescission but did not provide evidence that they would suffer immediate harm as a result of the Transportation Department decision.
