WASHINGTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) - A group representing
automakers and electric vehicle charging companies on Friday
urged the U.S. Transportation Department to quickly restart a $5
billion government EV infrastructure program.    
    On Thursday, the Trump administration said it was suspending
the electric vehicle charging program and rescinding approval of
state EV charging plans pending a new review.
    The Electric Drive Transportation Association, whose members
include General Motors  GM.N , Toyota  7203.T , BorgWarner
 BWA.N , EVGo  EVGO.O , Walmart  WMT.N  and others, said it
urged the Trump administration "to quickly resume the critical
work of the program and minimize uncertainty for states and
their businesses."
