Stop Trump’s Attacks on Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicle (EV) and emissions standards established under President Biden’s administration are crucial for slowing climate change, protecting public health, and ensuring that the United States remains a leader in the global transition to clean energy.

The EV and emissions rules are more than just environmental safeguards—they are investments in our collective future. By encouraging the production and adoption of electric vehicles, these policies create jobs, enrich our communities, and save lives. According to the American Lung Association, transitioning to zero-emission transportation could save thousands of lives annually and prevent billions in healthcare costs by reducing air pollution-related illnesses.

Alarmingly, the Trump transition team is recommending sweeping changes to cut off support for electric vehicles and charging stations and to strengthen measures blocking cars, components and battery materials from outside the US, according to a Reuters report.

The EV sector represents a booming opportunity for American jobs and economic growth and requires parts and components from across the globe. The U.S. auto industry has already begun a historic shift toward EVs, spurred by these standards. Rolling them back risks ceding this competitive edge to countries like China, which is heavily investing in clean transportation. Keeping these policies will help to ensure our communities continue to benefit from this transformation.

Sign the petition to tell Donald Trump to keep the current EV and emissions standards to protect our air, support American innovation, and keep the United States at the forefront of the clean energy revolution.
