Trump’s ‘Unlawful’ EV Funding Freeze Heads To Court As 17 Attorneys General Demand Charger Grants Be Restored

The coalition of 17 attorneys general and the State of Pennsylvania alleged that the suspension of the grant programs aimed at enhancing EV charging infrastructure that would reduce pollution and expand access to EVs is ‘unlawful.’
