Major federal agency wastes taxpayer dollars in bizarre move: 'How is this not just expensive virtue signaling?'
A controversial decision by the General Services Administration is making waves, as the agency has announced plans to shut down all 8,000 of its electric vehicle chargers. This move comes alongside reports that the agency will also offload its stock of EVs, though it's unclear if they will be sold or stored.
What's happening?
According to a report from The Verge, the GSA, a U.S. agency responsible for managing federal government buildings and vehicle fleets, recently informed employees that its EV chargers were deemed "not mission-critical." As a result, the agency will begin removing chargers as early as next week, turning them off at the breaker once their network contracts are canceled.
This decision appears to be part of an effort to align with the Trump administration's directives. The news also comes on the heels of the GSA's web page on the fleet of electrification being taken offline, which has raised concerns about the future of federal support for clean transportation.
Why is this concerning?
