The $5 billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI) was signed into law in 2022 by the Biden administration and funded states to strategically deploy EV charging infrastructure and establish an interconnected network of high-speed electric vehicle chargers.
The NEVI program has been often criticized by those who oppose electric vehicles and one of President Trump’s first actions since was to halt the program’s funding. In this video, I will speak with Bill Ferro the CTO of Paren, who has extensive data on NEVI to understand if the program has been successful or mismanaged.
