In a recent meeting with House Republicans, former President Donald Trump declared his intention to completely reverse President Joe Biden's electric vehicle EV policies if he is re-elected. Trump criticized the current administration's push towards battery-powered cars, describing the mandate as 'crazy,' according to Idaho Representative Russ Fulcher. He emphasized that, if given the opportunity, he would overturn Biden's EV policies entirely.
On Thursday, oil and ethanol industry groups filed a lawsuit to block the Environmental Protection Agency's EPA new air-pollution limits, which they argue would compel automakers to increase their electric vehicle sales unlawfully. Biden's administration has set an ambitious goal to have 50% of all new vehicle sales be electric by 2030. To support this transition, the administration offers consumers tax credits of up to $7,500 for purchasing electric vehicles.
