@arstechnica The tariffs don’t help. But American automakers could have been selling affordable EVs like hotcakes. Instead they keep offering $80K vehicles trying to make obscene profits on each one.
"Trump's tariff wars on EV are temporarily slowing the EV transition.
His fossil fuel megadonors are ecstatic as they get to keep their captive energy markets a little longer.
Making EV's more expensive & harder to get is how you manipulate fossil fuel demand artificially."
So much for the "Freedom" party and "free market" libertarianism. Hypocrites.
