  • Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump's transition team is recommending sweeping changes to cut off support for electric vehicles and charging stations and to strengthen measures blocking cars, components and battery materials from China,

The Trump transition team is reportedly planning a comprehensive rollback of Biden administration's electric vehicle (EV) emissions policies, aiming to dismantle regulations that promote EV adoption. This includes reversing the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) stringent emissions standards set to take effect in 2027, which are designed to significantly increase the market share of electric vehicles. The team's strategy involves not only rescinding these rules but also potentially challenging California's authority to set its own, more aggressive emissions standards. This move is part of a broader initiative to reduce regulatory burdens on the automotive industry, reflecting Trump's previous administration's deregulatory approach. Critics argue that such changes could hinder the U.S. in meeting its climate goals and slow down the transition to cleaner transportation technologies.
