Evidence

The IRS says qualified refueling/recharging property, including EV charging equipment, remains eligible for the credit; for property placed in service at a home or business from January 1, 2023, to June 30, 2026, the credit is still available.

As of May 26, 2026, a federal EV-charging-related tax incentive was still active through June 30, 2026, so federal support for EV charging had not been fully eliminated.

Rep. Burlison's office says H.R. 1052, the UNPLUG EVs Act, would rescind funding for electric vehicle charging stations appropriated in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Burlison took concrete legislative action aimed at cutting EV-charging funding, but the source shows introduction of a bill, not enactment.

FHWA still hosts an active National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program page, linking the interim final guidance and a status-of-funds document; the page was updated on 2026-02-05.

The federal NEVI charging program remained publicly active, which cuts against a claim that unobligated EV-charging funding had already been eliminated.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Burlison made a concrete legislative effort by introducing H.R. 1052, the UNPLUG EVs Act, to rescind EV-charging funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. But the available evidence shows the underlying federal support was not eliminated: the NEVI program remained active in 2026, and the federal refueling/recharging property credit for EV charging equipment also remained available through June 30, 2026. Because he seriously pursued the promised outcome but did not deliver the elimination of unobligated federal EV-charging funding, this is best scored as never with effort credit.
