California, led by Attorney General Rob Bonta and Governor Gavin Newsom, along with 16 other states including Colorado, has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration. The lawsuit accuses the administration of unlawfully withholding billions of dollars in funds that Congress had approved for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. These funds were intended to reduce pollution, expand access to clean vehicles, and create green jobs. The states are suing the Department of Transportation for blocking the release of these funds, which are crucial for building EV charging stations nationwide. This legal action highlights ongoing disputes over federal support for clean energy initiatives.
