100% ‘Buy America’ Push May Stall EV Charging Supply Chain, Law360
February 13, 2026Partner Levi McAllister was quoted in a Law360 article examining a Trump administration proposal to require electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to meet a 100% domestic content threshold to qualify for federal funding.
Levi discussed the practical and financing implications of the proposed change, noting that developers are facing heightened uncertainty as eligibility standards shift and federal support becomes more difficult to access. He emphasized that the evolving regulatory framework could materially affect project planning and investment decisions across the EV charging market.
“In context, the administration’s approach of first rescinding funding, then reissuing guidance, and now proposing more restrictive requirements, raises serious questions about whether compliance is intended to be achievable at all,” Levi said.
