"Automakers Warn of EV Demand as Trump Criticizes Electric Transition"

Former President Donald Trump criticized electric vehicles (EVs) in a recent interview, claiming they are not ready for widespread adoption due to issues with range, cost, and infrastructure. He also expressed plans to reverse President Biden's EV policies if re-elected. Automakers are addressing infrastructure concerns by expanding charging networks and focusing on hybrid vehicles in response to stalling EV demand. The potential rollback of federal initiatives supporting EVs poses a significant challenge to the industry's transformation, while Trump's stance on EVs may impact the future of electric and hybrid vehicles in the US.

"Biden Administration Faces Pressure to Ease Transition to Electric Vehicles"

The Biden Administration is reportedly planning to slow down the rapid shift to electric vehicles (EVs) in order to give auto manufacturers more time to meet the White House's aims and to appease labor unions concerned about potential job losses. The new plan, expected to be finalized in early Spring, will extend the deadline for ramping up EV sales to 2030 instead of the original goal of achieving this before 2030. This move also aligns with President Biden's reelection campaign strategy, as labor union support is crucial, and it reflects a broader effort to balance environmental goals with economic and political considerations.
