Dedicated funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure
Mark DeSaulnier will support dedicated funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Occurrences
Evidence
“8 provisions authored by Congressman Mark DeSaulnier ... were passed by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrasutructure ...” including “Dedicated funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.” The release says the bill “now awaits consideration by the full House of Representatives.”
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved H.R. 8870, the BUILD America 250 Act, after a 14-hour markup. The committee summary says the bill “invests in America’s roads, bridges, transit, rail transportation, and highway and motor carrier safety programs.”
Assessments
Evidence shows DeSaulnier materially supported and authored a provision for dedicated funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and that provision advanced through the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in 2026. That demonstrates concrete action in support of the promise. However, the available record does not show full House passage, Senate passage, or enactment into law, so the promised funding outcome cannot be credited as fully delivered. Because he made a serious legislative effort that advanced in committee but final delivery is not established, partial is the best fit.
