From InsideEVs.
Over this past week, we’ve had a lot of people reach out to ask about electric vehicles. Not which one to buy, exactly (though there’s always that question) but to ask about where the space is going now that President Trump is in office. He seems poised to end or reverse many of the Biden-era policies that were driving EV growth. "Is this whole ‘EV thing’ over now?", we keep getting asked.
It’s a fair question if you don’t view the automotive world through a microscope every day like we do. But the answer is clear: Not at all.
The global race toward electrification will continue, no matter who’s in the White House. Too much has happened already, too many plans have been made, too many factories have been built and the playing field is much bigger than just America.
On this week’s Plugged-In Podcast, Tim Levin and Patrick George explain why InsideEvs—and a lot of the rest of the industry—feel this way.
