DOT states the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law contained significant new funding for EV charging stations, including the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program at $5 billion and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program at $2.5 billion. DOT says NEVI funds strategically deploy EV charging infrastructure and CFI deploys publicly accessible EV charging infrastructure.
Assessments
Carson was serving in the U.S. House when the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed and voted yea on the final House action for H.R. 3684 in November 2021. That law created major federal EV charging programs, including NEVI and Charging and Fueling Infrastructure grants, directly matching the promise to support EV adoption and expand charging infrastructure. Because the outcome passed during his federal term and he supported the enactment, this counts as delivered in the same term.
