WASHINGTON (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 ), Toyota ( TM ), BorgWarner ( BWA ), EVGo ( EVGO ), Walmart ( WMT ) 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."
