US EditionHow Donald Trump Is Turning the US Into an EV Laggard
- BloombergNEF released a report on June 18, 2025, showing global electric vehicle sales growing while U.S. policy rollbacks slow adoption.
- The slowdown results from the U.S. administration easing fuel-economy standards, phasing out EV tax credits, and challenging California's emissions rules.
- China maintains strong EV growth supported by subsidies making EVs cheaper than combustion cars, and the UK plans plug-in cars to reach 40% market share next year.
- BloombergNEF cut U.S. EV sales forecasts by 14 million vehicles through 2030 and warned that revoking California’s waiver would have dire nationwide effects.
- These factors imply U.S. EV adoption will slow for years, ceding market dominance to China and causing battery overcapacity and intensified global competition.
