Trump Will Slow, but May Not Stop, the Rise of Electric Vehicles
The New York TimesSunday, August 3, 2025 at 9:00:42 AM
Despite former President Trump's opposition to electric vehicles (EVs) and his promises to roll back supportive policies, the momentum behind EV adoption is likely to continue, though possibly at a slower pace. Industry trends, consumer demand, and global market forces are driving the shift toward EVs, making a full reversal unlikely even if regulatory support weakens.
Editor’s Note: This story matters because it highlights how political leadership can influence—but not completely halt—major technological and economic shifts. Even if Trump wins the election and tries to slow EV growth, broader trends suggest that the transition to electric cars is here to stay, which has big implications for automakers, energy markets, and climate goals.
