A Republican bill has dashed the White House's attempt to give the charging industry a break on made-in-America rules until 2024, may have opened federal funds to EV charger manufacturers from any old place
The U.S. Senate has passed a bill to overturn a short-term waiver offered by President Joe Biden to EV charging station manufacturers. The decision could delay the roll-out of chargers that the White House hoped would accelerate EV adoption, so it plans to veto it. Senators voted 50-48 in favor of the Republican-backed bill that seeks to overturn the waiver offered by Biden.
Read: Made-In-USA Rules Could Make EV Charging Situation Worse Before It Gets Better After the waiver expires, manufacturers will have to source more than 55 percent of the parts used in the making of EV chargers domestically in order to receive funding, as was laid out in 2021's bipartisan infrastructure law. Under that law, the government set aside $7.5 billion to help fund the installation of EV chargers across the nation.
