Issue #4: Trump Targets Biden’s EV Policies

Executive orders signal a fossil fuel pivot.

​

Trump Signs Orders to Roll Back EV Policies

What’s Going On: President Trump’s executive orders aim to dismantle the Biden administration’s electric vehicle (EV) policies, falsely labeling them a “mandate.” The orders target EV tax credits, tailpipe emission standards, and EV infrastructure funding, signaling a broader push to favor fossil fuel production.

The Reality Check:

​

• EV Tax Credits at Risk: While Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act protected the $7,500 EV credit, Trump seeks to eliminate it through Congress.
• Charging Infrastructure Halted: Funding for EV chargers under federal programs has been paused.
• Weaker Emissions Standards: Trump’s rollback gives automakers room to produce more polluting vehicles, reversing progress on greenhouse gas reductions.

​

The Bigger Picture: Transportation accounts for 28% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and Trump’s focus on fossil fuels—like ramping up rare earth mining—could exacerbate climate risks. Meanwhile, automakers, who’ve invested billions in EVs, face uncertainty amid these policy shifts.

The Takeaway: Trump’s push to reverse EV progress introduces hurdles for consumers, the auto industry, and climate goals. The focus on fossil fuels over clean energy comes at a critical time for combating climate change.
