Trump cancelling EV charging plans…what does it mean for states like Pennsylvania

Campbell mentioned that 91 projects are still active, with five already operational, 14 under construction, and the rest in different stages of planning. Pennsylvania is currently third for NEVI sites opened, following Ohio with 19 and New York with eight.

The situation is now uncertain with Trump stopping the program. What happens next for Pennsylvania’s plans is unclear.

On the Pennsylvania Turnpike, charging stations are being developed but don’t rely on federal funds. Marissa Urbanek said they aim to have stations at all 20 service plazas by 2027, with the first ones expected to open this year.

Let’s stick to EV-related discussions here. If your comment is more about politics, consider posting it on a different forum. Thanks.

Props to Ohio for getting these stations running much quicker than most other places.

I just did a 500-mile trip from Cleveland to Dayton, and charging was super easy at every stop.

Ohio may not get everything right, but their charging network is solid.

Now if we could just get better coverage in East Palestine and Steubenville…Steubenville only has one dealership with a fast charger, and it’s not even on PlugShare.

This article is misleading. It’s not just Biden’s program—it’s federal law and can’t be undone by an executive order.

Looks like this might end up in court.

Let’s not forget who appoints the judges…

It all depends on the courts, and most are heavily leaning Republican.

So far, the courts have ruled against this kind of thing. So it’s still illegal for now.

Biden has been able to appoint quite a few judges. Not every case reaches the Supreme Court.

If Trump’s DOJ is involved, they’ll keep pushing it up the chain until they get the result they want.

Trump acts like he can do whatever he wants. It’s all just a show now—real decisions don’t matter anymore.

Republicans are making this harder for no good reason.

The program was approved by Congress, so how can Trump just end it with a signature? It should take Congress to reverse it.

We just need a few Republicans to stand up for the country instead of catering to the MAGA base.

@Tal
I don’t think an executive order can override something passed by Congress.

@Tal
Maybe in the past, but now we’re living in a time where loyalty to Trump is all that matters. Anyone who crosses him is at risk. It’s scary to watch.
