Trump's EV Charger Purge Could Cost Taxpayers Over $1 Billion
Briefly

The progress in electric vehicle infrastructures, highlighted by increased EV usage and expanded charging stations, is now threatened as the Trump administration plans to dismantle these initiatives. Specifically, the General Services Administration has been instructed to cease operations of EV chargers, which could eliminate between 2,200 and 8,000 charging ports across federal buildings. Despite a previous $300 million investment during the Biden administration, the removal process is projected to cost taxpayers between $50 million to $100 million, raising concerns about the future of EV infrastructure and investments.
The GSA, which manages federal properties and facilities, was instructed to remove thousands of charging ports, potentially incurring a taxpayer cost between $50 million and $100 million.
The federal government invested $300 million to install these EV chargers, yet under the Trump administration's new directive, they are now facing decommissioning.
