Nancy Vu is an energy and environment reporter for the Washington Examiner. Before coming to the Washington Examiner, Nancy was a Congress reporter for Politico.
The Senate passed a disapproval resolution overturning the Biden administration’s decision to waive “Buy America” requirements for government-funded electric chargers, the latest attempt to complicate the White House’s plan to electrify cars. Although the measure is expected to pass the GOP-controlled House, the White House has threatened to veto the measure, likely killing the move.
In July, Sen. Marco Rubio and other Republican senators introduced a joint resolution under the Congressional Review Act to overturn the FHWA waiver, subjecting the EV charging projects to the bill’s original requirements. Democrats, however, argue that implementing the resolution would have the opposite effect and lead to fewer U.S.-made chargers. They reasoned that if the rule were overturned, EV chargers would revert under the FHWA’s general waiver for manufactured products, which exempts highway infrastructure from domestic sourcing requirements.
