Trump Takes Major Action Against EVs

On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump promised to revoke Biden-era electric vehicle (EV) initiatives—and on day one, he delivered.

On January 20, Trump officially scrapped a 2021 order from President Biden that aimed for half of all new cars to be electric by 2030. “With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal and revoke the electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to our great American auto workers,” Trump declared, emphasizing his commitment to traditional manufacturing and American jobs.

Now, his administration has since taken another significant step by halting a $5 billion program designed to build EV charging stations nationwide. A memo issued Thursday by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced that “the new leadership of the Department of Transportation has decided to review the policies underlying the implementation of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program.”

Effective immediately, states are prohibited from initiating new EV projects until Trump-approved guidelines and plans are in place. However, existing projects will not be disrupted—reimbursements for ongoing contracts will continue to honor current obligations.

If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Trump's lack of understanding is due to the fact he has never been advised by Greta Thunberg about the value of EVs. :whistle:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
