What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "UNPLUG EVs Act," aims to take back certain unspent money. It specifically targets unobligated balances meant for charging and fueling grants. It also targets unspent funds from the National Electric Vehicle Formula Program. These rescinded funds are to be moved into the general fund of the Treasury. The specific purpose for this movement of money is deficit reduction.
