Trump Administration Halts EV Adoption by the Federal Government

President Donald Trump's administration has finally pulled the plug and halted the federal government's ongoing efforts to adopt electric vehicles. A series of internal memos obtained by Colorado Public Radio and NPR have revealed that the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has suspended electric vehicle orders temporarily, ordered the closure of some EV charging stations, and halted the installation of new electric vehicle charging stations. A March 3 memo regarding electric vehicle chargers that was signed by recently appointed GSA Public Buildings Service Commissioner Michael Peters notes that all existing EV chargers that aren't ‘mission-critical’ should be shut down. As…

A Deeper Look into the Complications Surrounding Tesla’s Recent Market Shifts

2025 hasn't been a great year for Texas-based electric vehicle giant Tesla. After dominating the nascent EV sector for a decade and achieving a market cap that's larger than the rest of the auto industry combined, Tesla is experiencing an unprecedented fall in sales across several major markets. CEO Elon Musk's endorsement of President Donald Trump and his involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) seems to have alienated a notable section of Tesla's customer base. However, some experts say that Tesla may have also gained access to a new and untapped customer base. For most of the electric…

Survey Shows Youths Have a Preference for Electric Vehicles

A recent industry-commissioned survey has found that young people typically prefer electric vehicles to conventional gas-powered cars. The poll was commissioned by Nissan and conducted by Economist Impact, which surveyed 3,750 people from 15 cities across the globe. It mainly focused on finding out the mobility preferences of 18 to 30-year-old individuals living in urbanized areas. Over half of the respondents (57%) said that they were willing to adapt their driving habits to lower carbon dioxide pollution while just 40% were in favor of policies that made gas-powered vehicles and other forms of transport that produce pollution more expensive. 44%…

Tesla Reportedly Gamed Rebate Program in Canada to Make Last-Minute $30M Claim

Tesla has been accused of gaming the Canadian electric vehicle rebate program after 4 dealerships reportedly sold a whopping 8,600 vehicles in just three days. The sales spree saw the four stores sell an average of 2 vehicles per minute and claim $30 million worth of grants just before Canada's EV rebate program ended. Although Teslas are among the most popular electric cars in Canada, the last-minute surge in sales at the four dealerships and the subsequent $30 million in claims have left many wondering whether the sales were legitimate. Each of the 4 dealerships would have had to sell…

EU Automakers Get Pollution Targets Breather as EV Sales Falter

The European Commission has granted carmakers in the EU more breathing room to achieve the regional bloc’s mandated pollution target amidst a widespread drop in electric vehicle sales. Commission president Ursula Von der Leyen says European carmakers that sell too many fossil fuel-powered cars in 2025 will be granted a two-year grace period where they can compensate by selling more clean energy vehicles. Although the move is ostensibly meant to support carmakers who have been struggling to sell their EVs amidst a slump in demand, environmental groups argue that the grace period is tantamount to rewarding ‘laggard’ carmakers. The proposal…

Why Some Electric Vehicle Buyers Aren’t Getting the Expected Federal Tax Credit

Last year, the U.S. amended its federal EV tax credit system to make it so that drivers could access the tax credit at the point of sale instead of paying full price and waiting months for the tax credit to kick in. However, while this change was praised for making the federal EV incentive much more accessible to buyers, it may have made it difficult for some buyers to have their EV purchase subsidized. A small number of buyers have been unable to access the tax credit due to missteps on the dealerships’ side even though they did everything as…

Expert Says Chinese EV Industry is Booming Due to Support from the West

Despite the litany of import tariffs placed on Chinese electric vehicle exports, recent data has revealed that Chinese auto companies are making a killing. China's EV industry is booming and some experts say that the ongoing boom is thanks to support from the West. According to one auto industry expert, China is now the largest vehicle manufacturer on the globe. Last year, UK drivers purchased close to 100,000 cars that were manufactured in China, a sure sign that Chinese-made cars have more than ample demand in Europe. According to Tycho de Feijter, the rapid growth of China's auto sector is…
