In a pair of Truth Social posts Monday evening, Trump took aim at the electric vehicle industry and President Biden’s push for more electric vehicles. With this opposition to electric vehicles, Trump is likely trying to persuade Michigan voters to support him over Biden, who carried the swing state in 2020.
The Biden administration has pushed to boost electric car sales, with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) predicting that two-thirds of new car sales could be electric by 2032 under a new proposal released by the administration earlier this year. Last week, the Energy Department announced plans to invest $12 billion into converting auto manufacturing facilities into plants for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Trump also took aim at Shawn Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers, for supporting the Biden administration’s latest investment into electric vehicles.
From MI here, I love my EV and despise anyone who hates on them.
What about those of us who think that EVs only prolong the issue, and that better public transportation for everyone isn’t just a good idea, but the best idea for personal well-being, as well as climate change?
Sure, but while I wait for that to actually exist where I live, are you OK with me driving an EV or should I just not leave the house?
