Federal EV Charger Freeze Sows Chaos, but Chargers Are Still Getting Built

Summary

The US federal government froze a national program intended to send $5 billion in funding to efforts at building charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.

The goal is to build half a million new EV chargers in the United States by 2030 .

Legal experts say the move could be against the law.

But industry observers say the pause in funding won’t spell doom for the nation’s charging infrastructure.

Ionna is less interested in NEVI funding because it wants to build chargers in cities.

The company expects to find its future customers in cities, where governments are pushing Uber and Lyft to put their drivers in electric cars.

Walmart, too, is quietly building its own “coast-to-coast” network of chargers.
