Applaud the States Defending Clean Transportation

Sixteen states and Washington, D.C. are standing up for clean air, climate action, and a stronger economy by suing the federal government after the Trump administration illegally suspended congressionally approved electric vehicle charging programs. These grants were designed to expand EV charging and hydrogen fueling infrastructure nationwide — creating jobs, cutting pollution, and making clean transportation accessible to more communities.

Led by state attorneys general including California’s Rob Bonta, the lawsuit challenges the administration’s refusal to approve funding that Congress already authorized as part of the bipartisan infrastructure law. By freezing billions of dollars meant for states and cities, Trump officials are undermining innovation, stalling climate progress, and blocking investments communities are counting on.

This lawsuit sends a clear message: presidents don’t get to ignore the law or sabotage the clean energy transition on a whim. The states are stepping up to protect public health, defend green jobs, and ensure the future of affordable, sustainable transportation.

Add your name to applaud these states for fighting back, upholding the law, and standing up for clean energy, climate progress, and a healthier future for all.
