# UNPLUG EVs Act - Plain Language Summary

## What This Bill Does

The UNPLUG EVs Act would cancel federal funding that has been approved but not yet spent on two electric vehicle programs. Specifically, it targets:

1. **Charging and fueling grants** - money set aside to help build charging stations and alternative fuel infrastructure
2. **National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program** - federal funding distributed to states to expand EV charging networks (created by the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act)

Any unspent money from these programs would be redirected to the U.S. Treasury to help reduce the federal deficit.

## Who Is Affected

- **States and local governments** that were planning to use these grants for charging station projects would lose that funding
- **EV charging infrastructure companies** that depend on federal grants would see fewer opportunities
- **Electric vehicle owners** would have fewer new charging stations built with federal support
- **The federal budget** would theoretically see a reduction in deficit spending (though the actual amount depends on how much money remains unspent)

## Key Points

- This bill only affects money that hasn't been committed yet—it doesn't cancel projects already underway
- The bill is sponsored by conservative House members who oppose federal EV subsidies
- It represents a policy shift away from the Biden administration's push to expand EV infrastructure nationwide
