The Trump administration is reportedly shutting down the federal government’s entire network of electric vehicle (EV) chargers, a move that signals a broader retreat from renewable energy initiatives.
According to a report by *The Verge*, the General Services Administration (GSA)—which manages federal buildings—plans to take hundreds of EV charging stations offline, affecting around 8,000 charging plugs used by government vehicles and federal employees.
A source told *The Verge* that guidance to shut down the chargers will be issued next week, with some regional offices already ordered to disconnect their stations.
EV Charging No Longer "Mission Critical"
Earlier this week, *Colorado Public Radio* obtained an internal email revealing that EV chargers at the Denver Federal Center would be deactivated because they were deemed “not mission critical.”
This move aligns with the Trump administration’s broader efforts to roll back support for clean energy programs. The administration has already slashed funding for renewable energy initiatives and halted federal support for EV charging infrastructure—programs that once provided millions in funding to companies like Tesla.
With federal backing for EVs rapidly disappearing, the decision raises questions about the future of government sustainability efforts and the transition to electric transportation.
