Auto industry’s shift toward EVs is expected to go on despite Trump threat to kill tax credits
If President-elect Donald Trump makes good on his threat to kill federal tax credits for electric vehicle purchases, it’s likely that fewer buyers will choose EVs.
This is not surprising.
I'm still personally in a position where I could not own an EV. A hybrid, sure. But an EV, I cannot charge because I'm in an apartment. EV ownership is tied to home ownership in a way that I see few people discuss.
Once they get charging times down further it will be better. They're talking about 10 minute charges soon. The other thing we need to do though is get businesses and parking lot owners on board with charging stations. Just literally everywhere, especially long visit businesses like grocery stores and restaurants.
You just charge at a supercharger once in a while, or plug in to an L2 that are all over the place. You don't have a gas station in your appartment either.
I want an electric Honda civic.
Me too! The Honda civics last forever!
I want an electric Honda fit. Give me my tiny uturn machine with even better fuel economy
Drumpf can suck my EV's tailpipe
Careful there — he did kinda simulate blowing a microphone at a rally, so don't put it past him to abuse vehicles — even those that lack a tailpipe. Given his mental acuity, I bet he prefers a good dose of leaded exhaust, though.
