Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) is removing all EV chargers from federal properties, citing that they are “not mission-critical.”
The move aligns with Trump’s broader rollback of green energy initiatives, including efforts to override California’s EV mandates.
The GSA will also phase out electric vehicles purchased under the Biden administration. Critics see this as part of a broader GOP effort against clean energy.
The decision comes as Trump also pauses $3 billion in public EV charger funding.
I read that when Puttler increased his recent little tantrum in Ukraine there was an obvious shortage of petrol, but EVs could still get power which makes them a very good option to have in case of emergency.
Alternatives energy sources are good.
They could just have turned off power, but I guess they’ll argue that then people would be able to steal the chargers, so it is better to sell them to their friend for a steep discount since they are used.
Then when the political climate shifts on the issue, they can just buy new expensive chargers from their other friend!
The chargers themselves aren’t super expensive in the grand scheme of the project. It’s the prep and grounds work that’s expensive… You’re on the right track, just a little off.
What they do is give the removal contract to their friend who inflates the cost, that’s the real money.
