The order, “Unleashing American Energy,” appears to dismantle several policies implemented by the previous administration to promote EV adoption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. While the changes may slow the move toward electric vehicles, they’re unlikely to completely derail it. Key reasons for optimism include market forces, state-level initiatives and ongoing advancements in technology.

For instance, challenges remain in developing the charging infrastructure needed to support the growing number of EVs on U.S. roadways. At the end of 2024, the United States had nearly 192,000 public electric vehicle charging ports, according to the Federal Highway Administration, spread across more than 64,600 charging locations.
