Former President Trump, who ridiculed electric vehicles, has been softening his stance and expressing support after meeting with Elon Musk, with whom he had frequent discussions on various topics including E.V.s.
Trump shifted focus from attacking E.V. reliability and cost to criticizing federal incentives for buying E.V.s and environmental regulations that push automakers to increase production.
Trump said individuals should be able to buy electric vehicles if they choose, but government should not manipulate the car market.
Elon Musk mentioned that Trump's change in stance regarding electric vehicles might be due to his persuasive abilities, as evident from their interactions.
