Yet Donnie is going to purchase $400M in Cybertrucks?
Each day there is something he says or Commands that is dumber than the prior day
Wouldnt that piss off the real president?
If he is pissed why can’t he just not add anymore of these and leave the ones as is.
man, these guys are idiots. history will condemn trump as the worst potus ever.
I guess asking why is stupid, the cruelty is the point.
Doesn’t his buddy own one of the largest electric car companies in the world? Seems like an odd choice regardless
Or, more accurately, Trump to shut down all 8,000 EV charging ports at Federal Government buildings.
The mad king is shutting down perfectly functioning technology because … he doesn’t like it???
This source’s (ekectrek) last article was put up October of 2023. Totally legitimate, and definitely not a feeder site at all. Absolutely rock solid, you’re not being manipulated in any way. Keep up the good work 🤦♂️
I still remember when he said “good old clean burnin coal”. This does not surprise me.
Is Trump purposely trying to raise gas prices? Every EV on the road is one less car using gasoline. I guess he doesn’t understand supply and demand or he does and he is working for the oil executives.
So they all go to SC network to charge ? No conflict of interest here.
He’s intent on destroying and going backwards in time. Horrific to watch it unfold so seamlessly and to plan
It’s weird that the CEO of a big EV car company didn’t stop that.
Surely this is completely contrary to Musk’s interests? He should tell his subordinate in the White House to reverse this policy.
I call bullshit on this
The more people he pisses off the better at this point.
Oh i’ll just keep home charging like always.
If Trump is not going to use them, he might as well sell them. Who does he know that might be interested in used EV charging stations already installed at fed govt bldgs?
Didn’t he just order a load of Cybertrucks?
Who cares. People charge their EVs at home before the go to work.
Ha ha
What the hell is wrong with people that are anti EV?
That is a twisted thing to be opposed to.
What a bunch of clowns.
What an asshole
Preview:
The Trump administration is shutting down EV chargers at all federal government buildings and is also expected to sell off the General Services Administration‘s (GSA) newly bought EVs.
GSA, which manages all federal government-owned buildings, also operates the federal buildings’ EV chargers. Federally owned EVs and federal employee-owned personal EVs are charged on those 8,000 charging ports.
Tesla’s too? Or are they “different”?
FAFO
What a fool. His bowing to a group of Texas oil fracking oligarchs (Tim Dunn, cough, cough) puts a half trillion dollar investment by the auto industry in the US at risk. It will help the Chinese run away with the EV and battery markets, threatening auto manufacturers worldwide.
Is this winning?
Trump really does hate America. Every Trump supporter is either a traitor, or a foreign agent.
They were level two chargers with overpriced installations. You’re almost better off just charging at home.
These agencies bought fleets of electric cars to save money. Trump is driving UP their operating costs now by acting like an uneducated nitwit. Only a fucking idiot would support what Trump is doing.
You would think Elon whispering to trump would keep the ports but have it be metered at a higher rate
Where’s Elon going to charge up his tesla?
But why?
Just to recap according to Republicans : electric cars bad, Elon musk good, tesla bad, cyber trucks bought by Trump good
Smart. Discounting already existing infrastructure because he doesn’t like it. Talk about government waste. That money has already been spent. Now it’s wasted.
Mango face doesn’t care about the good of the country. It’s all about control and chaos. While we’re distracted. he and his cronies are stealing.
We installed them at our site two years ago but never enabled them. Couldn’t figure out with HQ how much to charge for their use with non-gov vehicles. We also don’t have any gov EVs yet either so they’ve never been used.
Trump followers, are you happy now?
Why should the government pay for your fuel?
He’s a decrepit old dinosaur, so of course he’s going to defend decrepit old dinosaur industries.
EVs should be treated like regular cars. Pay road tax, pay for fuel etc. Subsidies should be phased out.
No cybertrucks then
This is so damn stupid
Don’t care. I’ll charge at home or at a plethora of other charging stations.
What an ahole
I will charge in a different place, how about that?
Assuming these are level 3 / DC chargers on average, that’s probably around $500 million for the hardware and another $300 million for installation.
Very well could be lowballing it depending on the specs of the systems.
