Shut the Power Off and Sell the Fleet! Trump Is turning off all 8,000 EV chargers at all federal government buildings. The word has come down from the General Services Administration (GSA), which is responsible for managing federal buildings, to shut down all of its electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the nation. In addition, the agency plans to offload newly purchased EVs from the federal vehicle fleet, citing that these assets are “not mission critical.” This marks a significant shift in the federal government’s approach to EV infrastructure and fleet management.
So, what is the GSA? They’re the agency that keeps the federal government’s buildings humming and manages a massive fleet of about 650,000 vehicles. Under Biden, they went all-in on EVs—ordering over 58,000 zero-emission rides and installing thousands of charging ports nationwide. The goal? Electrify everything by 2035. But now, with Trump back in the driver’s seat, the GSA’s hitting the brakes hard. They’re pulling the plug on hundreds of charging stations—think 8,000 plugs going dark—and offloading those brand-new EVs faster than you can say ‘range anxiety.’ Their reasoning? These assets aren’t ‘mission critical.’ Translation: they don’t think EVs fit the government’s real priorities.”
