“I will always drive an electric vehicle, because they’re fun, they’re less expensive and they’re less expensive to operate and to own. And I do care so much about the environment. And I do think that over time, if I always drive electric vehicles, I’ll be able to cut my carbon footprint.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jun Chen, Oakland University engineering professor:
“The White House issued an executive order earlier this week that revoked one of the previous executive orders that mandates 50% of vehicles must be EVs by 2030. So, I think in the short term, it’s definitely going to impact the EV production as the EV companies may shift to produce more hybrids or conventional vehicles rather than EVs.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Jun Chen, Oakland University engineering professor:
“As a researcher, I think there’s a consensus among academia that EV is the way to go. EV is the way to address our environmental concerns. There is no turning back on the EV development.”

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Ray Smith, EV Automotive Mobility:
“Even what Trump says, I think he’s just mainly trying to help out the auto industry, because it is a big burden for all the manufacturers to go 100% EVs. So, I think he’s giving them a break. I don’t think it’s going to impact the EV market. I don’t think it’s going to impact what we do as an EV training program.”

“I would just love if they would all take the politics out of it and let’s just figure out how to all thrive in what’s clearly a warming world and take the time to really understand what’s happening to our climate and earth systems.”

STORYLINE:
No place in the United States has seen more investment in electric vehicle development than Michigan.
But some Michigan EV stakeholders said they are optimistic following this week’s announcements by President Donald Trump that he is slashing a slew of EV policies.
Trump’s order indicates he will roll back those pollution rules.
