According to media reports, President elect Trump's transition team is proposing comprehensive reforms to cut off support for electric vehicles and charging stations, and strengthen measures to prevent foreign cars, components, and battery materials from entering the United States. A document seen by the media shows that the transition team suggested imposing tariffs on "electric vehicle supply chain" products, including batteries, key minerals, and charging components, and mentioned that "Section 232" should be used to restrict the import of such products. The document also shows that they suggested using tariffs as a "negotiation tool" to open up foreign markets for US car exports, providing support for the export of US made electric vehicle batteries through the Export Import Bank of the United States, but expanding restrictions on the export of electric vehicle battery technology.
