MANY imponderables are at work here. The major actors are used to
playing their parts according to their party's script. They don't have
to think; just act.
When Bush took office in 2000, he could count on the Republicans in
Congress to back him. Thus he was able to quickly gut the EV mandates
PV/wind incentives, and environmental laws in general. That pretty much
killed the nascent EV movement.
Trump may try to do it again; but he doesn't have the backing. He's ad
libbing it. No telling what he'll do, or whether Congress will support
or oppose him.
But I suspect the EV movement (and Tesla in particular) is heading for
hard times. The big automakers will abandon EVs as fast as they did in
2000 if they can change the mandates and regulations (and if Tesla
weren't out there proving that EVs work after all).
I heard Ralph Nader's take on it. He thinks Trump is bound to do
something stupid or illegal. Given the number of enemies he has (in
both parties), he'll get impeached before he can do any serious damage.
