America’s rapid-charging stations for electric vehicles are getting bigger, faster and more reliable, and appearing in more places, according to a new study.
The new data, released Monday by the EV-charging consultancy Paren, suggests that the charging network is rapidly growing even as the Trump administration has frozen most of the federal money that was supposed to foster it.
“Behind the scenes, charge-point operators are moving full-steam ahead with aggressive deployment plans,” the study said.
The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, or NEVI, is a $5 billion effort funded by the bipartisan infrastructure law and intended to build a national charging network. In February, the Trump administration halted the program, and in June, 14 states won a legal victory to get their portions of the project restarted.
