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Public safety regulations, such as crash reporting for automated vehicles, are also set to be repealed.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

    Something tells me this won’t go through if Elon has a fraction the influence he seems to think he does

      It’ll go through in areas where Tesla doesn’t or can’t make a product for it. There isn’t even going to be the pretense of fairness here. It’s why CEOs are lining up to grovel at Trump’s feet
