EV Policies Face Political Divide Amid 2024 Election

The future of electric vehicle incentives hangs in the balance as the presidential election could alter current policies.

  • California aims to have all new vehicles sold be zero-emission by 2035, with medium- and heavy-duty vehicles following by 2045.
  • Texas offers grants for alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure, exempting EVs from state emissions inspections.
  • Nationally, EV initiatives are supported by federal acts and Volkswagen settlement funds, promoting infrastructure and tax credits.
  • Former President Trump, the Republican nominee, plans to roll back Biden-era EV incentives if elected.
  • Vice President Kamala Harris supports continued EV expansion, having played a key role in passing pro-EV legislation.
