Candidates differ on electric vehicles and clean energy as election nears
As the U.S. presidential election approaches on November 5, candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have differing views on electric vehicles (EVs) and clean energy. Harris aims to continue the Biden administration's initiatives, focusing on expanding EV infrastructure and clean energy investments. Harris has not introduced new policies but supports existing efforts, including the Inflation Reduction Act, which allocates funds for EV production and clean energy jobs. She emphasizes U.S. manufacturing requirements for EV tax credits and has backed significant investments in renewable energy. In contrast, Trump plans to repeal many of Biden's environmental regulations and has criticized the EV tax credit. His energy policies prioritize fossil fuels and nuclear power, showing skepticism towards clean energy initiatives. He has not indicated any change in his stance despite recent endorsements.
