(Seoul = Newsis) Reporter Choi Hyeon-ho = Former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate for the United States, said that if he is elected in November, “the electric vehicle mandate will end on the first day (of his inauguration).”
According to foreign media outlets such as the New York Times (NYT) on the 18th (local time), former President Trump said this in his official acceptance speech for the Republican Party on the last day of the convention held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, saying, “We will prevent the complete collapse of the American auto industry that is currently underway and save American customers thousands of dollars per car.”
Foreign media outlets, including the New York Times, pointed out that there were no mandatory measures related to electric vehicles under the Joe Biden administration. However, the Biden administration has imposed new rules requiring automakers to meet certain average emission limits across their entire product line. Former President Trump seems to have mentioned this.
Foreign media also pointed out that there is no evidence that electric vehicle promotion rules or policies are destroying the automobile industry, adding that many automobile manufacturers have embraced electric vehicle production.
