Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm blamed her staff's poor judgment in response to an incident in which they blocked an electric vehicle charger for her using a gas-powered car.

"I'm calling because I'm in the Grovetown Walmart at the charging station and there's literally a non-electric car that is taking up a space and said they're holding the space for somebody else," the woman who made the 911 call told a police dispatcher in the recording."And it's holding up a whole bunch of people who need to charge their cars."

"There are other people who are waiting to charge and they're still here and they're not in electric cars," she continued."The sign says you can't park here unless you're charging." The incident was first reported earlier this week by NPR, which joined Granholm on the trip. According to the report,the trip to"draw attention to the billions of dollars the White House is pouring into green energy and clean cars."

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was on a tour promoting electric vehicles when the incident in which her staff saved her a charger using a gas-powered car took place. While Granholm's team planned the trip far in advance to prepare for charging stops, the Georgia stop underscored logistical issues that continue to face zero-emissions cars which Granholm, President Biden and Democratic-led states are aggressively pushing.
