MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin and several other states won’t have to give up federal funding for electric vehicle charging stations.
A federal judge in Washington ruled last week that Wisconsin and 16 other states will continue to get grant funding to pay for improving coverage for those stations. The ruling preserves 62 million dollars in grants for the state. The Trump Administration last year froze the funding for the program over policy reasons, saying the country didn’t need more electric vehicles.
The judge said the White House violated procedures and couldn’t stop congressionally approved spending.
