Federal Highway Administration orders states to halt $5 billion program to build fast EV chargers.

The program was intended to help fill gaps in the nation’s EV charging network and boost consumer confidence to buy electric vehicles.

The order could strike a major blow to an industry that has experienced slower-than-expected sales and could lose critical federal tax incentives.

“I’m assuming the lawsuits from states will start soon, and this will go to court and Congress ,” McDonald said. “But the Trump administration will succeed in just causing havoc and slowing things down for a while.” Maxine Joselow contributed to this report..
