WASHINGTON, D.C – Following President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s landslide victory over challenger Vice President Kamala Harris, the nation\u2019s adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), which was greatly encouraged by the current Biden Administration via numerous initiatives,\u00a0could experience a significant impact<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 perhaps both positive and negative \u2013 when the Republican victor is sworn into office in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans \u2013 including Trump \u2013 have criticized Biden\u2019s emphasis on rapid EV adoption, alleging that Democratic-led initiatives are essentially \u201cforcing<\/em>\u201d the vehicles upon the public, with some critics saying that both EV range and the charging infrastructure are still not where they are needed to support widespread use, despite some of the environmental benefits they offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has vowed, upon taking office, that he will roll back numerous policies and orders implemented by Biden in regards to EVs and internal combustion engine-based vehicles, such as aspects of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 \u2013 which included tax credits and subsidies to encourage EV purchases \u2013 and the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s more stringent emissions standards governing gas-powered cars and trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump is expected to more target parts of the IRA that offer up to $7,500 to consumers to purchase EVs, while allowing industrial production credits for companies manufacturing EVs \u2013 many of which are located in red states \u2013 to remain intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incoming president is also expected to battle with states \u2013 such as California and New York \u2013 that have imposed their own vehicle emissions standards and EV sales mandates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, experts believe that long-time American automakers such as General Motors, Ford Motor and Chrysler parent Stellantis will benefit from the incoming Trump Administration, which would likely free them of Biden\u2019s orders to decarbonize and shift production from ICE vehicles solely to EVs. Japanese auto manufacturer Toyota, which has been slow to adopt EV production and has shown a willingness to instead invest in hybrid-based technologies, could also benefit from a Trump regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Trump has stated numerous times that he is not opposed to EVs, but merely the idea of \u201cforcing<\/em>\u201d them upon consumers. In fact, Tesla CEO Elon Musk \u2013 who is said to be tapped to become a government efficiency czar in the upcoming admin \u2013 has been one of Trump\u2019s closest campaigners and advisors in recent months, and likely will have a large impact on EV policies going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
