During an August 2026 speech at a Las Vegas rally, President Donald Trump mocked electric vehicle owners' range anxiety, characterizing the habit of constantly monitoring battery depletion on long journeys as a "disease". While discussing his administration's rollback of federal EV policies, he joked that motorists who worry about finding a charging station when their batteries are still three-quarters full are "crazy". These rhetorical attacks underscore his ongoing political opposition to the transition toward electric transport and federal emissions mandates.
