US carmakers abandon electric vehicles as Trump rolls back EV subsidies while China and EU accelerate

The Trump Administration has rolled back Biden-era electric vehicle subsidies and EV-friendly policies, prompting major US carmakers to pivot back toward combustion engines. According to DW News analysis, this policy shift contrasts sharply with China and EU strategies, both of which are ramping up EV production and investment. US taxpayer funding for EV development and infrastructure is being redirected away from electrification. The policy reversal raises questions about whether the US automotive industry risks losing competitive ground in the global EV market as China and European manufacturers consolidate their manufacturing and technology advantages.
