Trump’s elimination of federal electric vehicle credits is a fatal flaw in this electric vehicle revolution — it’s led by policymakers and ideologues rather than consumers

California reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 13 percent between 2003 and 2019 .

Yet 2020 ’s wildfires “caused twice the amount of emissions” that were saved over those 16 years , according to a University of Chicago report.

Trump signed an executive order, “Unleashing American Energy,” which set forth the following goal: To eliminate the electric vehicle ( EV ) mandate’.

Bob Greene : Electric vehicles are great tools for small lots, but adoption should be driven by consumer needs, not policy dictates.

Greene: It’s mainly a market problem that can only be papered over by subsidies and rebates.

Consumers aren’t stupid, nor unconcerned about climate issues, Greene says.
