Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) sponsored S.J. Res. 38, a joint Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to disapprove of the Federal Highway Administration’s (FWHA) tailored Buy America waiver for electric vehicle (EV) chargers and replace it with a general waiver. The CRA is an extreme and blunt tool that is being used by anti-environmental members of Congress who want to permanently strip away protections for our environment, communities, wildlife, and natural heritage. This resolution would hinder efforts to expand the electric vehicle charging network, while hurting U.S. manufacturing, workers, and communities. Since the establishment of the tailored waiver, electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) manufacturers have announced more than $27 million in investments for new facilities across the country. Such investments have the potential to create good union jobs for workers building and installing EVSE equipment. The waiver that this resolution proposes would slow down the EV transition at the expense of these same workers. On November 8, the Senate approved S.J. Res. 38 by a vote of 50-48. The House passed S.J. Res. 38 on January 11, 2024, which the president vetoed on January 24, 2024.
