Trump’s new executive order ending the EV mandate could give companies more leeway in the EV transition, but it is not expected to save jobs in the long term.

Policy experts say the implications of Donald Trump’s executive order for EV owners—and the EV-curious—won’t be clear for a while.

Now, the automakers, who were already losing billions on EVs, could be in more trouble, depending on how much EV sales were buoyed by the mandates the automakers were counting on.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday took aim at electric vehicles, revoking a 2021 executive order signed by his predecessor Joe Biden that sought to ensure half of all new vehicles sold in the United States by 2030 were electric.

The status of federal grant awards for EV charging and other environmental initiatives that were announced before Trump's Monday inauguration remain in question, said Charles Griffith, director of the climate and energy program for the Ecology Center, an environmental group headquartered in Ann Arbor.

One of the president's executive orders rescinded an ethics rule that would have restricted Joe Biden's appointees from certain lucrative private-sector jobs.

President Donald Trump pledged to revoke the so-called electric vehicle mandate, and an executive order on day one of his second presidential term signals his intent to undo much of his predecessor's legacy when it comes to electric vehicle promotion.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order promising to eliminate what he incorrectly labels “the electric vehicle mandate” imposed under former President Joe Biden. His order on Monday is consistent with pledges Trump made on the campaign trail to end what he calls a “preposterous” focus on EVs by Biden and other

We will revoke the electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to our great American autoworkers,” Trump said.

The order, along with other steps expected in a second Trump administration, could slow U.S. efforts to address climate change, much of which is caused by burning gasoline and diesel fuel that emit carbon dioxide and other planet-warming greenhouse gases.
