Let me guess - that Trump friend was a billionaire big black man with tears in his eyes whom he called my afroamerican? I doubt that republicans would touch those subsidies if they take power. Significant investment is needed to even get those subsidies. If automakers make that investment and republicans just cancel subsidies then they will p*** off a lot of donors.
A market research firm has identified Elon Musk's Tesla as the electric car company that will benefit the most from the Inflation Reduction Act's new EV subsidy scheme that will run until 2032. Former President Donald Trump's recent anti-EV rant, however, may put these subsidies in jeopardy if he runs again and wins.
