For many years, the European Union has been doing everything possible to encourage motorists to switch to electric cars. In France, we are thinking, for example, of an environmental bonus and a fine, and Brussels wants it prohibit the sale of thermal models everywhere in the country from 2035. Manufacturers will have to adapt, and so will motorists, even if not all are convinced. In the United States, too, the government wants to promote electricity, notably through Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.

There is an exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice, it will be necessary to return pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

The return of Trump?

But Donald Trump, the former US president, who is actively preparing his comeback and running for re-election, does not like this green policy very much. Moreover, the latter is not a big fan of electric cars, so much so that he would simply like to ban them. Anyway, here’s what he explains in a recent speech: state of michigan soon there will be no more auto industry if Crooked Joe’s plans for the generalization of electric cars come to fruition“.

Save the industry

According to the former leader, the development of electric cars will benefit China too much. He then explains that “ China will take everything. Auto industry workers, vote for Trump. Ask your supervisors to follow me and I will save all your great work and create many more“. It remains to be seen whether Americans will be convinced by this speech, while there are many opponents of the electric car across the Atlantic.
