The Trump transition team is looking to cut EV programs, end the $7,500 tax credit, and impose global tariffs on battery materials, as detailed in a recent document.
Karoline Leavitt stated that under President Trump, the auto industry would be supported while allowing for both gas-powered cars and electric vehicles, indicating a shift in focus.
The proposed shift of EV funding toward national defense initiatives highlights a strategic realignment, emphasizing battery material production and reducing dependency on Chinese imports.
The document urges the use of Section 232 tariffs to manage battery material imports while negotiating exemptions, marking a significant policy change in the U.S. approach.
