	Description:		Even though the Trump administration and Republicans have scaled back federal support for electric vehicles, more than 40 red and blue states across the country are moving ahead with plans to tap into billions in federal funding to build fast-charging EV networks. POLITICO’s James Bikales breaks down why states are racing to expand EV infrastructure despite mixed signals from Washington and what it means for the future of the national EV market. Plus, the Transportation Department will cancel a “small number” of the thousands of grants approved but never finalized by the Biden administration. James Bikales is a reporter for POLITICO.
