GSA to Rescind Rule Facilitating Shipment of Relocating Employees' EVs

On April 16, 2025, the GSA published a notice that it plans to rescind a rule issued under the Biden administration that amended the Federal Travel Regulation. The Federal Travel Regulation makes provisions for relocating federal employees to have their personal cars shipped to their new location under certain circumstances. The Biden-era rule, published in March 2024, adjusted the criteria for when cars may be shipped to accommodate the unique needs of alternative fuel vehicles, such as electric vehicles.
