Trump’s attack on EVs is just theater — so far

President Donald Trump 's first week in office has been filled with chaos and confusion.

The challenge is that only legal scholars know at first glance which of Trump ’s executive orders will affect policy.

But the pieces of paper scare and confuse people, and that confusion will hang around, holding up actual progress.

The auto industry, to its credit, does not seem too fazed by any of this.

By leading with a ban on EV chargers, he’s not taking direct aim at the American auto industry.

Trump leaves the real stakeholders twisting their caps in their hands, wondering once again if he can really do that.
