So Be It for Electric Vehicles in Maine and Elsewhere...Trump Pulls the Plug, They Are Done With Them!

Trump has frozen funding for building charging stations through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program and other electric-vehicle funding through the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Trump pulls plug on government's 8,000 EV chargers

March 21, 2025  Blaze Media
The free ride for Biden's EV mandate comes to a screeching halt.
The word has come down from on high: Shut down the power, and sell the fleet.
The Trump administration's General Services Administration is set to pull the plug on all EV charging stations in federal buildings nationwide. In addition, the agency plans to off-load newly purchased EVs from the federal vehicle fleet.
Shutting this down isn’t just about saving pennies; it’s a signal. The Trump administration is pumping the brakes on the whole EV push, big time.
Tell me again how Trump's in the tank for Elon?

Fleet cheat

The GSA is the agency that keeps the federal government’s buildings humming and manages a massive fleet of about 650,000 vehicles.
Under Biden, the GSA went all in on EVs — ordering over 58,000 zero-emission rides and installing thousands of charging ports nationwide. The goal? Electrify everything by 2035.
But now, with Trump back in the driver’s seat, the GSA is hitting the brakes hard. It is pulling the plug on hundreds of charging stations — think 8,000 plugs going dark — and off-loading those brand-new EVs faster than you can say "range anxiety."
The reasoning? These assets aren’t "mission critical." Translation: The GSA doesn’t think EVs fit the government’s real priorities.

Free ride

Let’s break this down. These chargers weren’t just for government vehicles and federal employees; they were being used for personal EVs, too. We’re talking Denver Federal Center, VA sites, military bases, and other places where federal employees could cop a complimentary charge for their personal vehicles.
The free ride is over. And GSA is unloading its electric vehicle fleets, too. No word yet on whether the government is selling them cheap or just parking them in some giant government lot. Either way, this is a seismic shift. The Biden administration spent billions of your tax dollars to push this green dream, and now the GSA has yanked the emergency brake.
And let’s not kid ourselves — shutting this down isn’t just about saving pennies; it’s a signal. The Trump administration is pumping the brakes on the whole EV push, big time.

War on the green agenda

It's no secret that President Trump is not a fan of Biden’s EV mandate. He’s already paused $5 billion in public charger funding and nixed plans for more federal EVs. This is war on the green agenda. Biden’s team dropped BILLIONS of dollars of your money to electrify everything by 2035.
The GSA is responsible for managing federal assets including a fleet of approximately 650,000 vehicles. Under the Biden administration, it embarked on a plan to transition to zero-emission vehicles. That included the procurement of over 58,000 EVs and the installation of more than 25,000 charging ports. It never came anywhere close to achieving those figures though, and this new directive puts that plan to a swift end.
It's not clear where all those unwanted EVs will go. Technically, the GSA could simply take the vehicles out of the fleet and put them into storage rather than sell them at a loss.
It’s also uncertain how the agency will replace the vehicles being phased out; possibilities include purchasing new gas-powered models or reallocating older ones from retirement. I hope they reuse the older ones and stop wasting our tax dollars.

Waste management

Three years ago, the Biden administration gave out a total of $7.5 billion in grants for states to develop EV charging infrastructure; since then, only about a dozen charging stations have been built nationwide.
This is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Carmakers need to shift gears and stop cranking out EVs that are not selling and sitting on dealer lots. Making what their customers want rather than what is mandated will return the profits they once enjoyed.

Europe’s elites have been using the Paris COP Agreements to get African countries to install highly subsidized, weather-dependent wind and solar systems provided by Europe.
.
They are paid for with onerous, long-term loans from the World Bank/IMF, and European banks, to keep these countries in colonial-style bondage.
These countries pay for the onerous loans with their valuable minerals.
.
Europe loved Biden, because his clique of handlers enabled Europe to do the same thing to the US, to ensure the US would have high energy costs/kWh, and would be uncompetitive in world markets.
All that to protect Europe’s $10 trillion of investments in the US, and its decades of trade surpluses.
.
That game plan came to a screeching halt when the idiotic, unpatriotic, illegally installed, on-autopen-Biden regime ended, and Trump took over.
.
Now, Trump and Co is trying to undo the damage of decades of woke, leftist Democrat malfeasance, waste, fraud and abuse, started and perfected under the woke, okie-dokie Obama regime.
.

USAID was created by an Executive Order signed by John F. Kennedy.

Obama was using USAID to pretend to send ‘Aid’ overseas but was laundering it to train “Rent-a-Riots” instead.

In the meantime, federal deficit spending and the national debt are out of control and near historic heights.
.
Today, the United Financial Elite (UFE) governs their “Rules-Based” world.
The UFE moves its money where profits can extracted.
In case of wars, the UFE will sell weapons, etc., to both sides

The UFE mirrors the old aristocracy. They gather packs of vassals to keep the common people in check for them.
There is even a Young Leaders training center for it in upscale, jet-set Davos.
.
In return, these vassals enjoy minor privileges. Just like their noble predecessors, the elites often quarrel among themselves, sometimes escalating into wars. No one seems to object to this.
The killed victims do not protest, and the survivors are brainwashed to blame the opposing side for their miseries.
.
The elites do not care who among their ranks defeats the other, as long as large-scale capital ownership is not endangered.
.
The general public is usually kept unaware of these internal conflicts within the UFE, as they occur behind the scenes. 
In case “stuff” comes out, the Corporate Media, in service of the UFE, will use its enormous foghorn to “shape the narrative”
.
For the UFE as a whole, it is no different from the aristocrats of old. Except that now, it is not just landownership that is untouchable, but all forms of property.
Terrorism on Teslas will be punished with long jail terms in El Salvador.
.
How the elites divide the loot is fought out among themselves; the commoners have no say in the matter and only serve to perish during their elite tournaments.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
