There’s no point in an EV plan that’s so aggressive it can’t be implemented even under the most auspicious economic circumstances. Nor is there a point in advancing an EV plan that wouldn’t yield significant climate benefits.

Why a Measured Transition to Electric Vehicles Would Benefit the U.S.

Rapid adoption of electric vehicles by low-income and disadvantaged populations is necessary for decarbonization. Innovative products and business models are emerging that accelerate such adoption. Supportive policies should extend these innovations and amplify their benefits.

The Trump administration is proposing to freeze federal fuel-efficiency standards for passenger vehicles on the theory that weaker regulation will help domestic carmakers. But, as David Hart writes for the Detroit Free Press, it would instead lock the United States into a dirtier, increasingly out-of-touch status quo.

Fuel Economy Freeze Will Leave U.S. Auto Industry in the Dust

We need greater innovation to create electric cars that American consumers will actually want to buy and drive.

How The Economics Of The Left And Right Have Failed The Electric Car

Hydrogen hype has crashed headfirst into economic reality—billions wasted, markets abandoned, and mobility in ruins—proving the U.S. must stop chasing fantasies and start stress-testing clean energy bets before they flop.
