The states and the District of Columbia are suing the Trump administration for what they say is the unlawful withholding of over $2 billion in funding for two electric vehicle charging programs.

Dollars from the $5 billion infrastructure program that Joe Biden’s White House crafted to speed EV adoption are flowing again after the Trump administration froze the funds earlier this year.

EV Realty’s first public charging facility in San Bernardino, Calif., will be among the projects receiving an influx of cash from the additional funding round.

The charging industry has faced several challenges: the imminent expiration of federal tax credits for electric vehicles, slowing EV sales and competition among station operators.

Greenlane is rolling out a dealer program that offers charging credits and software perks to make electric trucks more accessible, signing Velocity Truck Centers as its first partner.

Customers will be able to access facilities later this year in Vernon and San Bernardino, Calif., with more to come in both Northern and Southern California.

Key provisions from a program designed to develop a national network of electric vehicle charging stations were recently updated by the Trump administration.

Singapore’s first charging and swapping station for big rigs can replace batteries in under five minutes. The entirely automated process can handle 60 trucks a day.

Some 703 high-speed, public charging stations opened in the U.S. in the second quarter, the second-largest such infrastructure boom on record, according to Department of Energy data.

The ongoing rollback of commercial vehicle emission regulations under the second Trump administration has created uncertainty in the emerging battery-electric truck market.
