Christopher Mims of The Wall Street Journal reported on driving an electric SUV for 1,600 miles without fearing running out of battery charge, highlighting the rapid expansion of the United States' fast charging infrastructure. Despite the Trump administration's rollbacks of incentives for electric vehicles (EVs) and related technologies, the number of public EV chargers is expected to triple over the next four years. This growth is making EV adoption increasingly feasible for long-distance travel. However, challenges remain, such as the limited availability of charging stations in many large national parks, including Yellowstone and Yosemite, which have only recently received chargers. Critics note that EV road trips currently require more frequent charging stops compared to gasoline vehicles, which can affect convenience. Nonetheless, analysts suggest that while Trump’s policies may slow EV adoption, they are unlikely to halt the broader transition to electric vehicles, which could ultimately benefit Detroit’s automotive industry.
While Donald Trump’s policies may slow down EV adoption in America, they will not stop the green transition. We explain why https://t.co/yweGjTYJGk
A reporter tried to make a case that electric vehicles are actually better for “the great American road trip” than gas-powered cars. His own report showed exactly why that’s insane. https://t.co/AwAJjbbKwP
