💨 Abstract

The Trump administration is reversing several regulations and incentives aimed at promoting electric vehicles (EVs). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to revoke the 2009 finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health, which underpins emission limits. A new tax law removes EV purchase incentives, fines for automakers not meeting fuel economy standards, and challenges federal EV charging infrastructure. These moves reduce pressure on automakers to produce more EVs, potentially increasing gas-powered vehicle sales and emissions.
