Former President Trump is vowing to end the “madness” of the Biden administration’s push for electric vehicles — a likely appeal to voters in the swing state of Michigan.
In a pair of Truth Social posts Monday evening, Trump took aim at the electric vehicle industry and President Biden’s push for more electric vehicles. With this opposition to electric vehicles, Trump is likely trying to persuade Michigan voters to support him over Biden, who carried the swing state in 2020.

Not always the case. I read a post this morning that showed when an EV's battery dies and the electronic emergency break is on, the car is almost impossible to move. I guess that's another undocumented feature.
But the Democrats are pushing it in a way that hurts everybody but the elite, and at the same time are deliberately sabotaging the electrical infrastructure.
The globalist ruling class are saving the planet for themselves while preparing to exterminate those not immediately necessary to keep them fed.
“Consistent with EPA’s traditional approach to establishing pollution standards for power plants under section 111 of the Clean Air Act, the proposed standards are based on technologies such as
carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS)
low-GHG hydrogen co-firing”
“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”
“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”
Expect to get zapped by much higher electric bills.
I do too
Reminds me of a June Bug........And it will look just like one on the front grill of a semi.....
I think neither industry should be subsidized beyond what hypothetically is needed for balencing competition with other nations.
Just let the market itself decide what is cost effective for ghe consumer.
Beside fires...if you get in an accident...you put others at risk...
Musk is a logical person....Why Tesla is a nice idea...his space program and “X” are much more important.
Stupid people.
Hard to do when the Biden Admin. is supporting the US auto industry 15.5 billion to switch to EV production. 15.5 bil to destroy 20% of the US economy is a communist wet dream.
I’m Ok with people buying EVs. It’s their money and their headaches afterwards.
Where I’m anti-Ev, is when the government gets involved in trying to dictate or mandate that people get EVs, while also trying to kill ICE vehicles and the oil industry.
Let the people choose. and learn from their mistakes.
“vowing to end the “madness”...
Not unless he has the absolute majority of both houses and his own party won’t fold like a lawn chair. I don’t see this happening with their history of cowardice.

Two batteries. One for power to the wheeled and a 12v for systems like the parking brake. Emergency brake is a misnomer.
The 12v can be jumped or charged as with any car.
“If I’m not mistaken, one of Pres Trump’s main points with EVs and other items for purchase are the tax breaks/incentives that go along with them.”
As a long time real estate developer in NY/NJ, Trump probably benefited from tax breaks and other government incentives on many occasions.

......Former President Trump is vowing to end the “madness” of the Biden administration’s push for electric vehicles........
FINALY a politician with sense!!
BAN EVs! NO 15-minute cities, and NO to other biden/obama plans to destroy our freedom because of “climate change”!!!!
Not just cost effective, but what the consumer is willing to put up with. Do they want to sit somewhere for a couple of hours during a day-long trip to re-charge? Etc.
Time is money so its the same thing.
People who don’t value their time will be taken advantage of no matter what.
EV makes sense, sorta, in dense metro areas. Like downtown. Anywhere else it is another Obama scam, like Solyndra.
Until batteries have the energy density of gasoline and last as long as a gas tank, they = bad tech. Virtue signaling and money laundering by politicos.

You are 100% correct. He even admitted it while on a debate stage with Clinton.
But, his tax breaks are no different than the ones that Bezos and all the rest receive when they want to build something. Do I agree with the process? No I do not.
However, those tax breaks, like say one for a hotel of his, leads to tax revenue and jobs for folks in the area. Are they always worth it? No. But, sometimes yes.
But, giving some liberal, urban dwelling hipster a tax break at our expense doesn’t create anything long term. Nor does it do anything given that the cars are being made in a foreign country. Specifically China. Our adversary. A place where, in order for Tesla and GM to have manufacturing there, the technology has to be accessible to the Chinese government and their engineers. So, pretty soon, the USA will have Chinese made vehicles rolling the streets, being made by and for the Chinese government.
