Trump Attacks EVs and Drivers at Las Vegas Rally, Falsely Claims to End 'Electric Mandate'
Former President Donald Trump made a series of disparaging remarks about electric vehicles and their owners at a recent Las Vegas rally, alleging EV drivers suffer from a "disease" related to range anxiety. He also falsely claimed to have ended an "electric mandate" during his presidency. While accurately noting the current 7% EV adoption rate in the U.S., his comments largely mocked the transition to electric transportation.
