According to foreign media reports, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), which manages the U.S. federal government-owned buildings, is planning to close about 8,000 electric vehicle charging piles nationwide, calling them “non-mission critical facilities.” As the agency responsible for managing government fleet contracts, GSA is also considering disposing of newly purchased electric vehicles.
Official guidance on instructing federal staff to start closing the charging piles will be announced within the agency next week, according to a source with knowledge of the plans. Some regional offices have been notified to start closing their charging piles. Currently, GSA operates hundreds of electric vehicle charging stations in the United States, with about 8,000 charging stations, for government-owned electric vehicles and private electric vehicles of federal employees.
