Part 4/10:
In a stark policy shift, the General Services Administration (GSA) is preparing to decommission nearly 8,000 EV charging stations across federal properties. Citing a less critical focus on EV infrastructure by the current administration, the GSA is reallocating resources towards core operations, making decisions that reflect trends in government efficiency.
While this might sow disappointment among EV advocates, a closer examination indicates that many of the EV chargers being removed are outdated and were rarely utilized. This move raises questions about the federal government’s long-term commitment to electric vehicles as they reconsider their procurement of electric fleets in light of resource constraints.
