Former President Donald Trump took aim at President Joe Biden’s electric vehicle mandate in a new video released Friday, pledging to end it if he returns to the White House.
“I will repeal Joe Biden’s electric vehicle, and I will do everything in my power to achieve a drastic reduction in the cost of a new car,” Trump said.
Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency has proposed a strict new automobile pollution limit that would mandate at least two-thirds of new vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2032.
“The whole concept of only electric is ridiculous,” Trump said in the video. “But it’s all because of Crooked Joe’s socialist Green New Deal.”
Trump argued that Biden’s push for more electric vehicles is driving up the cost of automobiles.
“Car prices are up nearly 30% since I left the office, with the average new car now costing an astonishing $50,000 and more,” Trump said. “The typical car payment is now almost $750 per month. It’s a war on American automobiles, and it’s a war on the American family.”
The Consumer Price Index for September 2023 showed new vehicle prices rose 2.5% year-over-year. Trump also took time to call on the leadership of the United Auto Workers to endorse him over Biden for president.
“Tell your union head, United Auto Workers, Shawn Fain, tell him to not endorse the Democrats,” said Trump. “They are going to put you out of business. You’re going to be out of a job.”
“I’m going to make you rich,” Trump continued. “I’m going to get you a job. You’re going to make a lot of money, and you’re going to make a lot of cars.”
Ford CEO James Farley recently revealed that electric vehicles require 40% less employees to manufacture than gasoline-powered automobiles. In addition, the America First Policy Institute estimates that Biden’s EV mandate could eliminate up to 117,000 auto-manufacturing jobs in the Rust Belt. Finally, according to Deloitte’s 2023 Global Automotive Consumer Study, more than 60% of Americans want their next car to be powered by gasoline while only 8% prefer a standard electric vehicle.

How does former President Trump perceive the impact of Biden’s electric vehicle mandate on car prices?
Title: Former President Trump Vows to Repeal Biden’s Electric Vehicle Mandate
Introduction:
In a newly released video on Friday, former President Donald Trump targeted President Joe Biden’s electric vehicle (EV) mandate, promising to abolish it if he returns to the White House. Trump criticized the concept of solely relying on electric vehicles, attributing it to what he called ”Crooked Joe’s socialist Green New Deal.” He argued that Biden’s push for more EVs has driven up the cost of automobiles, presenting a challenge to American consumers and the automotive industry.
Biden’s EV Mandate:
Under the proposal put forth by the Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency, at least two-thirds of new vehicles sold in the United States would have to be electric by 2032. The aim is to enforce stricter pollution limits and reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels. However, Trump finds the notion of relying solely on electric vehicles to be absurd.
Rising Car Prices:
Trump highlighted the soaring prices of automobiles since he left office, attributing the over 30% increase in average car prices to Biden’s policies. According to Trump, ”The typical car payment is now almost $750 per month. It’s a war on American automobiles, and it’s a war on the American family.” His concern lies in the burden this places on American consumers and the potential negative impact on the automotive industry.
Concerns for Auto Workers:
Trump called on the United Auto Workers (UAW) leadership to endorse him instead of Biden for president, warning that Democrats could put them out of business. While Trump promised to bring prosperity and secure jobs for the auto workers, he criticized Biden’s EV mandate, claiming it could result in the loss of up to 117,000 auto-manufacturing jobs in the Rust Belt. These concerns are supported by recent estimations from the America First Policy Institute.
Conclusion:
Former President Donald Trump strongly opposes President Biden’s electric vehicle mandate, perceiving it as a threat to American consumers and the automotive industry at large. Trump argues that relying solely on electric vehicles is unrealistic and that the move has led to a significant increase in car prices. His concerns extend to potential job losses in the auto-manufacturing sector, urging the UAW to refrain from endorsing Democrats. With the battle between electric and traditional vehicles intensifying, the future of the automotive industry remains uncertain.
