IT'S OVER - TRUMP KILLS CALIFORNIA'S EV MANDATE. AMERICAN EV SALES PLUMMET.

EV Channels Review

The video discusses the significant impact of the US government's decision to repeal California's EV mandate, a move that has been applauded by major automakers. The reviewer highlights that this repeal is seen by the industry as a necessary step to make vehicles more affordable and offer greater consumer choice, countering the previous mandate's perceived unachievability and potential to limit competition. The transcript notes that while some criticize this as an assault on clean air and global competitiveness, others argue that the US lacks the necessary supply chain for widespread EV production, particularly relying on China for rare earths. The video also touches upon the declining EV registrations in the US, contrasting it with global sales growth, largely driven by China. Concerns are raised about the sustainability of current battery technology, the lack of robust recycling infrastructure, and the inadequacy of charging infrastructure for mass adoption. The reviewer suggests that hybridization or fuel cell technology might be more viable long-term solutions for the US market.
