The state of Alabama suspended its implementation of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, citing President Donald Trump’s Day 1 executive order pausing spending for the program to build EV chargers across the nation.
“In response to Unleashing American Energy, one of several Executive Orders that President Trump signed on January 20, 2025, the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs has paused the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program as of January 28, 2025,” the state agency implementing the program posted on its website.
It also suspended applications for a funding round that were originally due in March “until further notice.”
While Alabama has yet to open any stations under NEVI, it awarded $11.2 million from the program last July to fund 13 charging stations and a workforce training program. The money came from the bipartisan infrastructure law.
