Trump Wants the Federal Government to Disconnect Its EV Charging Stations

"Despite his partnership with Elon Musk, CEO of the nation’s largest EV company, the president has railed against former President Biden’s “preposterous” focus on electric vehicles."

"The Trump administration has directed a federal agency to disconnect its electric vehicle charging stations, part of the president’s agenda to roll back progress on EVs and clean energy.

An email shared with Inside Climate News by a federal worker details how the U.S. General Services Administration, which oversees government buildings, purchasing and technology, is shuttering the stations.

“As GSA has worked to align with the current administration, we have received direction that all GSA-owned charging stations are not mission critical,” the email reads.

GSA will take the charging stations out of service as the contracts are canceled. Power to the stations “will be turned off at the breaker. Neither government-owned vehicles nor privately owned vehicles will be able to charge at these stations once they’re out of service.”"
