Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
This bill would repeal and terminate federal programs that fund electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure created by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. It amends IIJA funding authorizations and 23 U.S.C. §151 to remove charging-and-fueling grant authorities, rescinds unobligated NEVI formula program amounts, and prohibits use of funds to carry out that NEVI program.
Progressives emphasize climate and equity harms from repeal
Narrow scope helps, but high ideological salience and vocal stakeholder opposition make majority support contested.

They would emphasize harms to emissions reduction goals, environmental justice, and jobs in clean energy sectors.
Cautiously skeptical.
This persona would see some rationale for controlling federal spending or fixing poorly designed grants, but would worry about abrupt cessation.
They would prefer reform, clearer transitional rules, and preserving already-committed projects rather than outright repeal.
Generally supportive.
The persona would view the bill as limiting federal overreach, reducing taxpayer subsidies for EV infrastructure, and returning authority to states and markets.
They would emphasize fiscal restraint and opposition to federally picking winners in transportation technology.
