As part of his continuous efforts to own LibS or get rid of anything that President Trump does not like or understand, the General Service Administration is preparing to remove electric chargers from all federal assets across the country. The agency says hundreds of chargers and evaluate 8000 plugs available to federal workers who charge their cars “are not critical”. The agency, which manages the building owned by the Federal Government, as well as vehicles, will also transfer all EV -purchased under the management of Biden.
This move, although malicious, is not surprising given the general contempt of GOP to electric vehicles and movement of green energy, or delete almost everything that the previous administration brought. President Trump has opposed EV’s mandate and fights to overpower California reinforced standards of emissions and requests that are All cars sold in the State Be Electric by 2035.
The Law on the Reduction of Inflation of the Signature of the President Biden included significant funding to help the superiority of pure energy transitions, including money for public chargers throughout the country and, which is important, $ 975 million for GSA for the upgrading of federal buildings throughout the country with “emergence and sustainable technologies. ” But this is all out the window, despite the fact that the right man of President Trump, Elon Musk, runs an electric car company of $ 1 trillion. “Run”, however Government job These days, to launch strength and ignoring your family petitions On his own social media application, X., and he doesn’t seem to be cared for by car sales anymore. Tesla is now AI robotics or it will be, it may be.
“As GSA worked on alignment with the current administration, we received guidelines that all the charging stations owned by GSA are not critical,” UE -MAILU GSA, who has been examined Verge. Official guidelines direct federal workers to start off the chargers, although GSA must first cancel network contracts. Once this is over, the chargers will be removed from the service and “excluded in the switch”, it is seemingly noted in the ue -to emphasize how much they want the chargers to disappear.
Musk, who was in charge of the effort of reducing the costs of President Trump, seems to be probably behind the effort. That would seem counter -attack – Musk built his name an electric company, which he once said he would help move the world to a green future. Everything that supported the mission, including the success of competitive cars, was welcome, according to it.
But for a long time we left those days. Musk is in today Favorite removal of EV subsidies and the tax deductions, even while China eats the American lunch in electrification and is Spreading your cars around the world. Some have speculated that, since Tesla is already profitable on car based, its company is better than competition that I can still use any support I can get. Similarly, maybe musk is okay with a charger removal as this would help for Tesla’s Network Supercharger with front and middle. By chance, Trump’s administration early this month paused $ 3 billion financing Marked for public chargers.
If we are charity, there is one case to remove chargers on the Government’s property, which is that reporting suggests that they are not very good. The reports circulated around the internet, claiming that many chargers are located in federal buildings of a slower level 2 of the level 2 and use Chademo or similar non -stunned charging plugs. Release can make them some Feeling if they have not been used or are often broken.
Another reason to get rid of them would be the fact that Musk and President Trump try to release federal workers on the way out, so they will not have so many people anyway. Still, it would be nice to actually see the real functional charging equipment on federal property, but it seems that he will return soon.
