Congressman DeSaulnier expressed his disappointment with the Trump Administration's decision to suspend the implementation of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program. He stressed the crucial role electric vehicles (EVs) play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combatting climate change while also benefiting drivers economically. Drawing from his experience in California's transportation committees and the Clean Corridors Act, he advocated for federal investment in EV charging infrastructure to make hydrogen fuel cell and electric battery-powered cars more accessible and affordable. DeSaulnier highlighted the importance of American competitiveness in the global EV market, citing China's substantial lead in EV sales and public charge points. He called for the Secretary of Transportation to reverse the suspension of State Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment plans to ensure progress in the fight against climate change and to support economic growth while maintaining global competitiveness.
