A federal judge has rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to withhold millions of dollars in funding for electrical vehicle infrastructure, including $62.5 million that had been previously awarded to Wisconsin.

The ruling was issued last week in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington at Seattle, according to a press release from Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul.

The millions of dollars in federal funding is supported by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which launched under former president Joe Biden.

Wisconsin was originally awarded more than $62.5 million in NEVI grants in 2024, which the Trump administration blocked last June.

Wisconsin, along with 16 other states, joined a lawsuit in May 2025 seeking release of the previously approved funds.
