There was the fuel crisis of the 1970s, which led to an influx of Japanese imports that bested Detroit in fuel savings and reliability. And then there were various global financial collapses throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, and a significant decline in automotive quality as the Big Three continued to push bigger and more expensive vehicles, at the expense of road safety and global competitiveness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">And then there was, for lack of a better term, the great EV whiff of the 2010s and 2020s. After sleeping on electric vehicles for too long, the Big Three finally got in the game \u2014 but they botched it, rolling out a series of electric versions of gas cars that lacked the finesse or gee-whiz software tricks of Tesla. They were also too expensive for most Americans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">And now the real financial fallout begins. Ford announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/844813\/ford-hybrid-erev-f150-energy-storage-jobs\">a $19.5 billion write-down on its EV investments<\/a> \u2014 one of the largest in corporate history. On the same day, the Blue Oval said it was killing the F-150 Lightning, a vehicle once heralded as the return of the Model T. General Motors came next, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/transportation\/859574\/gm-takes-a-6-billion-hit-on-evs\">with a $7.6 billion charge<\/a>. And then Stellantis, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/transportation\/874759\/stellantis-takes-a-26-billion-hit-on-evs\">colossal $26.6 billion<\/a> hit on its EV investments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Cumulatively, that\u2019s over $50 billion gone. Poof.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">How did the US get EVs so wrong? The lazy answer is that Americans just don\u2019t want them, preferring to keep pumping dead dinosaur sludge into their lifted Ford F-150s and not have to deal with all that charging. But the real reason is that Detroit never took the challenge seriously, while dealers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/technology\/23713040\/ev-car-dealer-dealership-electric-sales-gm-ford-tesla-rivian\">actively worked against the transition<\/a>, worried about losses in service and repair. And then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2025\/1\/22\/24349650\/trump-ev-tax-credit-tariff-congress\">President Donald Trump turned EVs politically toxic<\/a>, and here we are. Americans are now falling behind in what may be one of the most significant technological shifts since the first car rolled off the assembly line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">As such, Trump seems happy to accelerate the auto industry\u2019s rush toward irrelevance. Along with Congressional Republicans, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/electric-cars\/672911\/ev-tax-credit-elimninate-house-republican-bill\">eliminated the $7,500 EV tax credit<\/a>, right when the market was finding its footing. GM\u2019s EV sales dropped 43 percent in the quarter right after the tax credit ended.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The Trump administration has also rolled back emissions regulations that were designed to push automakers to build more EVs and challenged California\u2019s authority to set its own pollution limits. And then, earlier this month, the real kill shot: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/science\/877371\/trump-carbon-pollution-endangerment-finding-repeal-climate-change\">Trump\u2019s EPA rescinded the landmark \u201cendangerment finding\u201d<\/a> that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health \u2014 the foundation of the agency\u2019s vehicle-pollution rules first adopted in 2010.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Automakers will no longer face fines for exceeding fuel emissions standards, nor will they have to buy pricey climate credits from Tesla and other EV makers. They have free rein to pollute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">\u201cThe US no longer has emissions standards of any meaning,\u201d Margo Oge, who served as the EPA\u2019s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/02\/16\/climate\/endangerment-finding-auto-emissions-regulations.html\">told <em>The New York Times<\/em><\/a>. \u201cNothing. Zero. Not many countries have zero.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">There are other ways of looking at this. Without emissions standards or the endangerment finding looming over them, automakers will have some \u201cbreathing room\u201d to continue to churn out big, gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs that help pay the bills, while also hopefully continuing to fund R&amp;D efforts to design better, more efficient, and most importantly profitable electric vehicles, said Ivan Drury, director of insights at Edmunds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">\u201cHopefully, they\u2019ve learned their lesson and don\u2019t allow this breathing room to be their gas chamber,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">As the US backslides, the rest of the world is already transitioning to electric power. In 2025, people bought a record 20.7 million EVs worldwide, up from just three million in 2020. In a number of nations, EVs represent a significant portion of overall auto sales: 20 percent in South Korea; 50 percent in China; 68 percent in Denmark; 65 percent in Sweden; and 96 percent in Norway. In the US, EV sales were roughly 10 percent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">How\u2019d they do it? Sustained investment in battery technology, charging infrastructure, and affordable models. That\u2019s it, really. China is estimated to have spent between $150 billion and $250 billion on EV development, raw materials, and everything else, and now the country\u2019s auto industry is on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/transportation\/828155\/car-influencer-china-ev-youtube-influencer-pay-play\">the cusp of taking over the world<\/a>. Well, the world minus the US, where tariffs and restrictions on Chinese software have kept BYD, Xiaomi, and others from coming in and decimating the Big Three.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Just as the pendulum has swung against EVs, it could certainly swing back. California is challenging the move by Congressional Republicans to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/659547\/house-republicans-climate-california-car-truck-pollution-waiver-congressional-review\">revoke its waiver to enact its own emissions regulations<\/a>. If it wins, automakers could find themselves stuck between the pro-EV California and the anti-EV Washington.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">This will likely force automakers to continue to develop multiple powertrains \u2014 ICE, hybrid, EV \u2014 for longer than they would have preferred, said Ed Kim, president and chief analyst at AutoPacific. If Ford, GM, and Stellantis want to continue to compete globally \u2014 hell, if they want to continue to <em>survive<\/em>, and not get completely taken out by China \u2014 they will need to ignore the regulatory impulse to abandon EVs altogether and keep trying to crack the code.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/transportation\/879975\/ford-universal-ev-platform-skunkworks-aero-battery-range\">Ford says it\u2019s committed<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/gm-general-motors\/705320\/gm-ceo-mary-barra-interview-ev-cadillac-dei-trump\">Mary Barra at GM too<\/a>. Stellantis is in a tougher spot, but has yet to completely throw in the towel. European, Japanese, and Korean automakers will have a role to play too. The EV transition isn\u2019t defeated.
