The US government wants to remove chargers from electric vehicles from all federal properties. According to the Federal Authority “General Services Administration” (GSA), hundreds of charging stations are affected with an estimated 8,000 connections, which are available to federal employees to charge their cars. According to the order, these are “business -not political”.

The authority managed by the buildings and vehicles of the federal government is also to abolish all the electric vehicles purchased under the dialect bid government. Official guidelines in which individual federal employees are instructed to start reducing chargers, possibly declared next week. This will not happen overnight, because the contracts with the power suppliers must first end, according to an official employee, who does not want to take the name.
In view of electromobility and rejection of so -called green energy, steps are not surprising due to the current US presidential and movement. President Trump intends to abolish other rules, something that should be purely pure until 2035 by California’s stringent emission standards and all cars sold in the state. The law still has a lot of money to switch on green energy and money for publicly used charging stations for electric cars on a decrease in inflation made during President Biden’s legislature. A thick part of it was $ 975 million for GSA, which should improve federal buildings with durable technologies. The propagation of electromobility is now to be abolished, also in other areas, which must be given subsidy with total $ 3 billion.
There is no problem for Elon Musk
The President’s advisor Elon Musk is not affected by this, which may also be due to the fact that the abolition of charging stations does not negatively affect his car company Tesla’s supercharger charging infrastructure. Analyst Glass Balls also strategic reason: Low traditional charging stations can play in combination with restrictive tariffs for foreign car manufacturers in Tesla Group.
Despite the group strategic views, the charging infrastructure of the authorities was also criticized for other reasons. In many cases, only chronic and slow charging technology was available with chadamo plugs, which often failed and, moreover – unlike government districts – was usually not a free performance for employees. Critics see more disintegration in the form of a suitable music for the employees of the federal employee. This remedy also fits in Trump’s strategy to promote fossil fuel as the origin of the energy policy, while the European Union has played a new program to expand the infrastructure of charging stations for 2027.
