Trump Administration Plans to Overhaul Biden's EV and Climate Policies

Incoming President Trump aims to roll back EV subsidies and emissions standards while emphasizing domestic battery production and national security priorities.

President-elect Trump's transition team proposes eliminating Biden-era $7,500 EV tax credits and redirecting funds from charging infrastructure to battery mineral processing and defense supply chains.
The recommendations include imposing global tariffs on battery materials to boost U.S. production and negotiating exemptions with allied nations.
Trump plans to ease emissions and fuel economy standards, reversing stricter limits set by the Biden administration, while blocking states like California from setting independent vehicle-emissions rules.
Biden's Inflation Reduction Act has already allocated over $110 billion to battery-related projects, with 40 U.S. factories under construction, much of which Trump cannot undo.
Industry leaders and analysts suggest U.S. EV and battery growth will continue, though Chinese dominance in critical materials remains a key challenge.
