A coalition of fifteen states, plus Pennsylvania's governor and Washington DC are suing federal agencies. They allege the administration illegally froze money for electric vehicle charging networks. The blocked funds were meant for two specific programs established under a major infrastructure law.

The lawsuit claims the White House ordered a halt to all disbursements for these projects, citing a nonexistent electric vehicle mandate. Plaintiffs argue this constitutes an unlawful impoundment of congressionally approved funds, violating the separation of powers. They point to a recent court victory in a related case concerning different EV infrastructure money as a precedent.

One affected program was set to receive about one point eight billion dollars. The other is a smaller subset of a larger five-billion-dollar initiative that was also previously challenged. The states are asking the court to force the release of the money and stop the funding suspension permanently.
