Trump's Hatred of EVs Is Making Gas Cars More Expensive

09 Nov 2025 | Abstracted from Wired

Trump's anti-climate agenda is making car ownership more expensive for everyone. His administration has rolled back fuel efficiency standards, opposed electric vehicle (EV) adoption, and imposed tariffs on imported auto parts. These policies have led to higher gasoline prices, increased fuel consumption, and additional costs for automakers, which are passed on to consumers. By favoring the oil and gas industry over cleaner technologies, Trump's policies not only harm the environment but also burden Americans with higher costs for transportation.
