The U.S. president has announced plans to dismantle a policy requiring automakers to increase electric vehicle sales, reversing a key push toward cleaner transportation. The move, framed as a response to consumer demand and industry concerns, signals a shift away from federal incentives for electric vehicle adoption. Critics argue the decision could slow progress on reducing emissions, while supporters highlight flexibility for manufacturers and buyers. The decision comes amid broader debates over energy policy and automotive innovation.
The US president said he would end a so-called 'EV mandate' that steered consumers to electric vehicles.
