And then there was, for lack of a better term, the great EV whiff of the 2010s and 2020s. Ford announced a $19.5 billion write-down on its EV investments — one of the largest in corporate history. And then President Donald Trump turned EVs politically toxic, and here we are. Along with Congressional Republicans, Trump eliminated the $7,500 EV tax credit, right when the market was finding its footing. And then, earlier this month, the real kill shot: Trump’s EPA rescinded the landmark “endangerment finding” that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health — the foundation of the agency’s vehicle-pollution rules first adopted in 2010.
