ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 7, 2025 -- NATSO, representing truck stops and travel centers, and SIGMA: America's Leading Fuel Marketers, issued the following statement in response to the Federal Highway Administration's announcement that it will suspend approval of state electric vehicle infrastructure deployment plans under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) grant program. The following statement can be attributed to David Fialkov, Executive Vice President of Government Affairs for NATSO and SIGMA.
"The NEVI program has in many states helped catalyze existing gas stations and truck stops to install fast, state-of-the-art EV charging stations. In other states, NEVI has been implemented poorly, with chargers either still not built or, if they are, they're in places nobody wants to stop. We are encouraged that the Trump Administration is reevaluating rather than abandoning the NEVI Program and intend to work closely with the Administration to share our experience and keep what's been working, while reconsidering clearly unproductive approaches."
