The states argue that the move not only undermines their environmental goals but also hampers economic growth and job creation in the burgeoning EV sector. The blocked funds were meant to support the installation of 500,000 EV chargers nationwide by 2030, a critical component of the national strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
