Summary
The Trump transition team plans to dismantle key support for the US electric vehicle (EV) market by eliminating the $7,500 federal EV tax credit and diverting funds from EV charging stations to securing battery materials as a “national-defense issue.”
This marks a major shift from Biden’s policies, which prioritized rapid EV adoption and a domestic battery supply chain.
The plan includes imposing tariffs on battery parts and materials globally, with possible exemptions for allies.
These changes are expected to slow US EV growth, further widening the gap with Europe and China.
Trump would make the best tree. He’d be 'UGE! Lots of people are saying it, the best people.
Nah. He’d be one of those trees that smells like a rotting corpse and he’d probably be on the smaller side.
Either way a definite improvement over his current state.
Edit: also as with any Trumpian statement it’s always safe to assume that reality is the exact opposite of whatever was said.
