President Trump has slashed a slew of EV-related policies, which could affect many states that have received billions of dollars in investment for electrification, notably Michigan.

Other Trump orders include reversing a policy of pushing carmakers to make 50% of their output be electric vehicles by 2030, which the Republican frequently says would jack up costs and limit consumer choice. He also withdrew from the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, which he said unfairly required the US to reduce emissions more than China.
