Dec 16 (Reuters) - Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump’s transition team is recommending sweeping changes to cut off support for electric vehicles and charging stations and to strengthen measures blocking cars, components and battery materials from China, according to a document seen by Reuters.
The recommendations, which have not been previously reported, come as the U.S. electric-vehicle transition stalls and China’s heavily subsidized EV industry continues to surge, in part because of its superior battery supply chain. On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to ease regulations on fossil-fuel cars and roll back what he called President Joe Biden’s EV mandate.
The transition team also recommends imposing tariffs on all battery materials globally, a bid to boost U.S. production, and then negotiating individual exemptions with allies, the document shows.
Taken together, the recommendations are a stark departure from Biden administration policy, which sought to balance encouraging a domestic battery supply chain, separate from China, with a rapid EV transition. The transition-team plan would redirect money now flowing to building charging stations and making EVs affordable into national-defense priorities, including securing China-free supplies of batteries and the critical minerals to build them.
A document seen by Reuters? Which democrat wrote it? I'd love it to be true but more likely it is ammo for the libs.
What he can do is toss out the mandates that say "60% of vehicles must be BEV by 2035" or some shit.
The subsidies from the inflation reduction act (lol) are here to stay unless Congress passes a bill to remove them.
I am against subsidies to get people to buy them under the false premise that carbon emissions will ruin the planet.
Everything about the Biden administration and their "green energy" gaslight bullshit is just way to scam dumb sheeple out of their money and their freedom.
