Trump’s new executive order ending the EV mandate could give companies more leeway in the EV transition, but it is not expected to save jobs in the long term.

President Donald Trump names just two programs in his executive order to halt Green New Deal funding — and both focus on electric vehicle charging. The name check is casting a fog of uncertainty over the many companies, states and localities counting on $7.5 billion in federal funds to help build out their EV charging networks.

President Donald Trump pledged to revoke the so-called electric vehicle mandate, and an executive order on day one of his second presidential term signals his intent to undo much of his predecessor's legacy when it comes to electric vehicle promotion.
