In response to Donald Trump once again spewing lies about the EV industry, DNC spokesperson Sarafina Chitika released the following statement: <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLet\u2019s be clear \u2014 there is no \u2018EV mandate.\u2019 Donald Trump is telling lies to distract from his own failed record that left the American electric vehicle industry underdeveloped and underperforming. Trump dropped the ball at every turn, ceding the future of electric vehicles to China and holding America back from creating a manufacturing boom right here at home. Thanks to President Biden\u2019s Inflation Reduction Act, America is becoming a leader in the EV industry \u2014 creating good-paying jobs right here at home and making sure American families can afford electric vehicles.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Trump slowed American progress and innovation in the electric vehicle industry \u2014 undermining the United States\u2019 global competitiveness. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Vox<\/a>: \u201cOn one side of that battle: the Trump administration, a few US automakers, and Koch Industries, who would like to stymie or at least delay the electrification of vehicles and continue the use of fossil fuels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cThe Trump administration is already trying to roll back strict fuel-efficiency rules that have helped encourage automakers to produce electric cars. Now the president, angry at General Motors for closing U.S. plants, is vowing to eliminate tax credits that have helped encourage consumers to buy electric cars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wired<\/a>: \u201cIn the Age of Trump, China Eyes Electric Car Dominance: Now that the Trump Administration is working to shred those environmentally-focused rules, the auto industry seems to be swinging its attention east.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Trump wants to end EV tax credits in President Biden\u2019s historic Inflation Reduction Act \u2014 even though the industry has created thousands of jobs right here at home and the tax credits have helped American families afford EVs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Atlanta Journal-Constitution<\/a>: \u201cIn his 90-minute speech, Trump said he would end federal tax credits and domestic manufacturing incentives for EVs at the center of President Joe Biden\u2019s signature climate and health bill known as the Inflation Reduction Act.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With President Biden\u2019s leadership, America is now laying the groundwork for a domestic EV manufacturing boom \u2014 creating jobs right here at home and bolstering our global competitiveness. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cThe IRA was specifically written to move the manufacturing supply chain for clean energy technology like solar panels and EV batteries away from China and to the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cThe $430 billion IRA imposes restrictions on battery sourcing and is designed to wean the United States off the Chinese supply chain for electric vehicles (EVs). The IRA will eventually bar credits if any EV battery components were manufactured by a \u2018foreign entity of concern,\u2019 in a provision aimed at China.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNBC<\/a>: \u201cAs of Aug. 17, for example, final assembly of the car had to take place in North America.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Under President Biden, we\u2019re seeing private sector investment numbers in America\u2019s electric vehicle and EV battery manufacturing that rival any other country \u2014 including China. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Atlas Public Policy<\/a>: \u201cVehicle manufacturers and battery makers plan to invest $860 billion globally by 2030 in the transition to EVs. Nearly a quarter, $210 billion, is expected to be invested in the United States, more than in any other country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Department of Energy<\/a>: \u201cElectric Vehicle Battery Manufacturing Capacity in North America in 2030 is Projected to be Nearly 20 Times Greater than in 2021\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cA manufacturing boom has swept across the country in President Biden’s 2\u00bd years in office, with the South and Mountain West \u2014 including several red states \u2014 having especially strong growth, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. … The U.S. economy has added some 800,000 manufacturing jobs nationwide, a figure Biden hopes will boost his claim to have delivered on his promise to be a president \u2014 and create jobs \u2014 for all Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg<\/a>: \u201cSince August of 2022, when President Joe Biden signed the law, BloombergNEF has tracked $72 billion of announcements by automakers, battery manufacturers, and other stakeholders in the electric vehicle supply chain. That includes nearly $55 billion for battery-related projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

President Biden\u2019s historic Inflation Reduction Act is investing in the American EV manufacturing industry and making it more affordable for hardworking families to purchase EVs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

CNBC<\/a>: \u201cThe bill extends and tweaks an existing tax credit \u2014 worth up to $7,500 \u2014 to individuals who buy new \u2018clean\u2019 vehicles like electric cars, plug-in hybrids and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlas Public Policy<\/a>: \u201cThe recent passage by the federal government of the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides unprecedented levels of support for EVs, including at least $83 billion of loans, grants, and tax credits that could support the production of low or zero-emission vehicles, batteries, or chargers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
