Many republican voters are likely to have negative opinions about EVs and wouldn't buy one regardless of cost.

Many U.S. consumers resist buying electric vehicles because of politics—Republican voters are likely to have negative opinions about EVs and wouldn’t buy such a car even when they can afford it. Most conservative respondents in a Morning Consult poll for The Wall Street Journal view electric cars unfavorably, with 41% saying their opinion is ‘very unfavorable’ and another 20% ‘somewhat unfavorable.

If Trump wins the presidential election, he is sure to support the oil and gas industry by introducing more lease sales – after all, 'drill, baby, drill' is a frequent campaign talking point, as is Biden's EV mandate. 'On day one, I will end Crooked Joe Biden's insane electric vehicle mandate,' Trump said at a rally earlier this year.
