Summary
The incoming Trump administration plans extensive rollbacks on electric vehicle (EV) policies, including eliminating EV subsidies, blocking battery imports, canceling federal EV purchases, and reversing $7.5 billion in charging infrastructure funding.
EPA fuel efficiency standards will revert to 2019 levels, increasing vehicle emissions by 25%.
Trade tariffs, applied globally, will raise EV costs, while California’s stricter emissions rules face renewed opposition.
Public safety regulations, such as crash reporting for automated vehicles, are also set to be repealed.
These policies prioritize fossil fuels and U.S. auto manufacturing over EV adoption and environmental goals.
Lol. Looks like someone got paid off.
But hey, Americans voted for corruption and regression. So that’s what we’re going to get.
Give yourselves a pat on the back. We played ourselves…again.
It was stolen, you’re telling me he won all 7 swing states?
Once you realize the average American voter is stupid af, doesn’t understand basic civics, doesn’t understand basic macro economics, doesn’t understand the President doesn’t control gas prices, and the list goes on and on. It’s less likely Trump and Co stole anything (there’s no evidence of there of it) and more likely the blame is on ignorant or blinded or willingly fascists voters to bring about “change” on their feelings and vibes. Plus the Dems ran a pretty shitty campaign. Caucusing with Liz fucking Cheney? Jfc what an L that was.
True once you factor that all in plus how “smart” the average American is and knowing there are less intelligent folks that make up the bottom half then I get it. I just don’t get the loss of 7 million voters for the dems from 2020 to 2024 vs the same guy. Spoonamore’s recent post about countries in AZ. Smart Elections press release they just put out.
Maybe I’m still on a little hopium. I deleted my Reddit account a while ago but I periodically check r/somethingiswrong2024 some post are grasping at straws but some are seriously concerning.
Has he cleared that with his husband, President Musk, yet?
Helps him. No competition. And I’m sure Tesla will be exempt.
Didn’t the US Army recently purchase what is essentially EV dirt bikes for RECCE purposes and found them extremely useful?
Yes but who is the corrupt criminal that got voted in?
Yup. Turns out silent vehicles are massively useful in reconnaissance. Who could have known? (Every soldier ever)
Ohhh. I see. They (Trump’s GOP) want to eliminate all federal agencies unless they can be used as punishment.
I’ve been convinced that they intend to follow through on the decades-long plan to push everything not explicitly in the constitution to the states or private corporations. This article suggests that the EPA could be used to punish ZEV states and force them to do what they want. Yeah - that makes more sense under a fascism.
The so-called ZEV states (for Zero Emissions Vehicles) do have something closer to an EV mandate, and from model-year 2026 in these states (California, Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and the District of Columbia) a third of all new cars sold by each automaker will have to be battery-electric—assuming the EPA grants California a waiver to allow this to happen.
Which frankly speaking sounds like a great way to get the states go ignore the federal government. There isnt much the feds can do if the states start to ignore the civil structure, especially if they can figure out how to cutoff federal tax revenue.
Which the billionaires and corporations would love. Less taxes and they can easily play the smaller governments off against each other.
Something tells me this won’t go through if Elon has a fraction the influence he seems to think he does
We’ve officially reached Operation Dark Storm levels of self-destructive idiocy.
Elon will be delighted.
Can’t have those gays in the military, after all.
Eat poopy Donnie
