PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2025-02-06 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
The proposal would cancel funding not yet legally committed for charging and fueling grants and the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program. This would withdraw money available through those programs and send it to the Treasury’s general fund solely for deficit reduction. The cancellation would cover uncommitted balances, rather than all funding previously provided.
The unobligated balances of amounts appropriated or otherwise made available to carry out section 151(f) of title 23, United States Code, are hereby rescinded and shall be deposited into the general fund of the Treasury for the sole purpose of deficit reduction.
The unobligated balances of amounts appropriated or otherwise made available to carry out the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program pursuant to paragraph (2) under the heading Federal Highway Administration of title VIII of division J of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117–58) are hereby rescinded and shall be deposited into the general fund of the Treasury for the sole purpose of deficit reduction.
Section 1 would name the bill the “UNPLUG EVs Act.”
This Act may be cited as the Undoing Nationwide Programs and Limiting Unnecessary Grants for Electric Vehicles Act or the UNPLUG EVs Act.
Section 2 would cancel the uncommitted balances of funding provided to carry out 23 U.S.C. 151(f), identified by the section heading as charging and fueling grants. It would require depositing those balances into the Treasury’s general fund solely for deficit reduction.
2. Rescission of unobligated charging and fueling grant funds The unobligated balances of amounts appropriated or otherwise made available to carry out section 151(f) of title 23, United States Code, are hereby rescinded and shall be deposited into the general fund of the Treasury for the sole purpose of deficit reduction.
Section 3 would separately cancel the uncommitted balances of funding for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program under the specified provision of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. It would require the same deposit into the Treasury’s general fund solely for deficit reduction.
The unobligated balances of amounts appropriated or otherwise made available to carry out the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program pursuant to paragraph (2) under the heading Federal Highway Administration of title VIII of division J of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117–58) are hereby rescinded and shall be deposited into the general fund of the Treasury for the sole purpose of deficit reduction.
