The UNPLUG EVs Act would cancel unspent federal funding for two electric vehicle programs and return the money to the Treasury to help reduce the federal deficit. Specifically, the bill would rescind unobligated funds from the charging and fueling infrastructure grants program and the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program, both of which were established or expanded under the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. These programs provide grants to states and private entities to build EV charging stations and related infrastructure across the country. The legislation does not specify a dollar amount, as it targets only money that has been appropriated but not yet obligated or spent. The bill was introduced in February 2024 and referred to the House Appropriations, Energy and Commerce, and Transportation and Infrastructure Committees.
