Trump stops rules forcing car brands to sell electric cars

When he became president of the United States two months ago, Donald Trump promised in many ways to put an end to the electric car. Now the rules are being changed.

First he ordered 8,000 charging stations at government buildings closed and dismantled, and now Donald Trump is tearing down several regulations on electric cars.

This is reported by Automotive News .

Among other things, the president has put an end to a rule that allowed car brands to sell more electric cars. A provision that was introduced by his predecessor Joe Biden.

Among other things, the environmental authorities predicted before the change of power in the United States that between 35 and 56 percent of all new passenger cars in the country would have to be electric cars by 2032 if Biden's policy were to come to fruition.

That is no longer the case. It is also no longer a requirement that emissions from passenger cars must be reduced by 50 percent by 2032 (from the level in 2027, ed.).

Trump wants to cut subsidies for electric cars in general

The new government is also considering scrapping the rule that currently means thousands of dollars in tax rebates for people who buy new electric cars.

Furthermore, the Trump administration will prevent the state of California, the country's most populous, from banning anything but electric cars by 2030.

Despite government ceilings that seem to work against electric cars, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Donald Trump appear to be running an excellent duo.

Musk has promised the president that he will double Tesla's production in the US within just two years. However, the ceiling comes at a time when the brand's sales are plummeting in several places.

In Denmark alone, Tesla sales shrank by 58 percent during the month of February. Conversely, in the first days of March, Norwegians have once again developed such a taste for the Americans that Tesla is once again the best-selling car in the entire country.

Norwegians' appetite for electric cars is generally so high that it is pushing petrol prices all the way down. Measured in Danish currency, a litre of petrol in Norway now costs less than 10 kroner. Read more about it here .
