Climate cultists are finally going to be brought back down to earth. Two recent blows to the electric vehicle market took place.

California’s Advanced Clean Fleet rules mandated that, by 2035, 40% to 75% of new medium- and heavy-duty trucks, depending on the vehicle type, must be zero-emission vehicles. Fortunately, the regulation has been scrapped.

The $7,500 electric vehicle (EV) federal tax credit is set to end on Sept. 30, a move that is likely to dampen sales of these vehicles in the United States.

The credit was instituted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law by President Joe Biden in 2022. On July 4, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, setting Sept. 30 as the final date for receiving EV credits as part of terminating EV purchase benefits.

These developments further illustrate that President Trump crafted effective tactics for countering The Resistance during his time outside the Oval Office and it is also pushing states, like California, to realize the vision of their anointed is nothing more than a pipe dream. Those four years are proving to have been a hidden gift for the nation.
