Trump anti‑EV rhetoric at Nevada rally
Overview
At a Las Vegas rally, former President Donald Trump again denounced electric‑vehicle owners, calling their range‑anxiety a “disease” and labeling them “crazy.” He reiterated that he had “ended the electric mandate,” cited a 7 percent market share for battery‑electric cars, and emphasized a continued reliance on oil and gas.
Trump also repeated a false claim that his wife, former First Lady Melania Trump, had produced the year’s top‑grossing film. The documentary “Melania: Twenty Days to History” opened with $7 million, cost $75 million, received overwhelmingly negative reviews and never topped the box‑office.
These remarks echo earlier rally statements and illustrate Trump’s strategy of attacking EV supporters while promoting misleading personal narratives to energize his fossil‑fuel‑friendly base. The comments came as the Biden administration pursued policies to expand EV charging infrastructure and incentivize electric‑vehicle sales, which remain a small share of the U.S. market.
