Summary

The incoming Trump administration plans extensive rollbacks on electric vehicle (EV) policies, including eliminating EV subsidies, blocking battery imports, canceling federal EV purchases, and reversing $7.5 billion in charging infrastructure funding.

EPA fuel efficiency standards will revert to 2019 levels, increasing vehicle emissions by 25%.

Trade tariffs, applied globally, will raise EV costs, while California’s stricter emissions rules face renewed opposition.

Public safety regulations, such as crash reporting for automated vehicles, are also set to be repealed.

These policies prioritize fossil fuels and U.S. auto manufacturing over EV adoption and environmental goals.

    The Trump regime’s policies will just accelerate the process of the USA being left behind as the rest of the world advances in technology and infrastructure. Unfortunately the MAGAs will not care, and when it affects them they’ll just pick a vulnerable minority to blame.
