Federal Government to Shut Down EV Charging Stations Nationwide

The General Services Administration declares EV chargers 'not mission critical' and plans to remove them along with Biden-era electric vehicles.

The General Services Administration (GSA) is shutting down all electric vehicle (EV) chargers on federal properties, citing their lack of importance to government operations.
Approximately 8,000 charging ports used by government-owned and employee vehicles will be taken offline in the coming weeks, with network contracts canceled and stations deactivated.
The GSA also plans to offload EVs purchased during the Biden administration, though it remains unclear whether they will be sold or placed in storage.
This move aligns with President Trump's rollback of Biden-era EV policies, including halting public charger funding and reversing federal fleet electrification mandates.
Environmental advocates warn that removing EV infrastructure could hinder efforts to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, which account for 28% of U.S. emissions.
