President Trump has charted a new course for electric vehicle policy in the U.S. While the direction is clear, the details aren't.
He was referring to dispute Trump’s executive order – one of a slew he has signed since taking office on Monday – that calls for the elimination of the “electric vehicle mandate.” Fanjoy and some market watchers feel government and industry investments in EV technology have moved too far along for Trump's order to have much influence on reining in sales over the long term.
Trump's use of the phrase "electric vehicle mandate" probably refers to a mix of three things: The $7,500 EV tax credit for consumers; the EPA emissions standards that aim to phase in more EVs and more efficient combustion vehicles; and tax credits that incentive domestic manufacturing of batteries and EVs.
In the days since Donald Trump’s second inauguration, the President has issued 68 executive orders. He’s covered everything from banal cabinet appointments to just who’s allowed to have healthcare, but he’s found a special enemy in EVs and their charging infrastructure — most recently issuing an executive order halting payouts from the Inflation Reduction Act that would have gone to building more EV charging stations.
President Trump's import tariffs, and moves to dampen electric vehicle sales and production has the auto industry in a state of uncertainty.
Some residents see the charging stations as an economic boom to the town, while others find it an assault on the oil and gas industry in Texas.
