Donald Trump has vowed to scrap electric vehicle mandates and redirect funding to US manufacturing if elected in 2024. He criticized Chinese-made electric cars as part of a “new green scam” and pledged to end the EV mandate on “day one.” While there is no formal mandate, the Biden administration aimed for 50% EVs by 2030 before the rules were watered down. Trump claims large Chinese factories are being built in Mexico to sell cars tax-free, promising to tax them up to 200% to make them “unaffordable.” He also criticized the United Auto Workers union for allowing this to happen.
Brands mentioned: General Motors (GM), Ford, Stellantis (including Peugeot, Fiat, Vauxhall), Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Alfa Romeo (part of Stellantis), Ineos.
