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Public safety regulations, such as crash reporting for automated vehicles, are also set to be repealed.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

    Which frankly speaking sounds like a great way to get the states go ignore the federal government. There isnt much the feds can do if the states start to ignore the civil structure, especially if they can figure out how to cutoff federal tax revenue.

      Which the billionaires and corporations would love. Less taxes and they can easily play the smaller governments off against each other.
