GSA Partners With Agencies to Eliminate Wasteful Vehicle Charging Stations at Federal Facilities

Excerpt:  “Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) issued a memorandum to tenants in federal facilities under its jurisdiction. The memorandum provides agencies with the criteria to be used to justify that any electric vehicle charging infrastructure is mission critical. Charging infrastructure not deemed mission critical will be deactivated and associated contracts or orders will be terminated. This is the first step in GSA’s process of evaluating the mission critical needs of our partner agencies for electric vehicle charging infrastructures. … GSA Directive 5605.1B, issued March 3, 2025, establishes that no new charging station installations are authorized, and federal agencies must provide a written determination stating they have a mission-critical need to charge electric vehicles at a GSA-managed facility.”
