NEVI

Wisconsin is getting another boost in DC fast charging thanks to $14 million in recovered federal grants for 26 sites statewide. The funding comes through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, part of President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

The US added more than 4,000 new DC fast-charging ports in Q3 2025, pushing the total past 64,000. The country’s EV infrastructure keeps maturing, despite new station openings slowing slightly this summer.

Illinois is expanding its EV charging network with $18.4 million in federal grants that were restored after being unlawfully frozen by the Trump administration. The grants come from the second round of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which supports Illinois’s goal of registering 1 million EVs by 2030.

Indiana is getting a major EV charging boost. GOEVIN (Go Electric Vehicle Indiana) just announced the recipients of its latest funding round, aimed at expanding the state’s publicly accessible EV charging network.

Despite growing uncertainty around federal EV charging policy, fast-charging infrastructure in the US isn’t slowing down — it’s doing the opposite.

California and 16 other states have sued the government for illegally withholding $5 billion in funds that Congress earmarked for EV charging, calling the action “another trump gift to China.”

Update, May 22: After the initial lawsuit was filed on May 7th when this article was first written, a number of nonprofits including Sierra Club, Earthjustice, NRDC, Southern Environmental Law Center, and Plug in America joined the lawsuit today. Also, the Government Accountability Office determined today that the seizure of funds was illegal.

Update 2, Jan 23, 2026: A federal court has found that DoT violated the law by freezing the funds, and permanently bans the feds from interfering with the program.

Minnesota just locked in a dozen new DC fast charging station sites along Interstates 90 and 94, defying Donald Trump’s suspension of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program.

US DC fast charging is becoming more reliable, and charging stations are getting bigger and busier, according to a new Q1 2025 report from the EV data analysts at Paren.

Trump’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has issued a memo ordering states to suspend all state EV infrastructure deployment plans under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program.

The Biden administration awarded $635 million in EV charger grants just 10 days before Donald Trump takes office, leaving just $700,000 of the $2.5 billion from the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law unallocated.

Wisconsin’s first three EV fast charging stations using funding from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula program are now online.
