Since taking office in 2025, President Trump’s rollback of EV subsidies has raised concerns about America falling behind China and Europe in the global clean tech race. This article explores how weakened incentives and shifting investments could impact U.S. competitiveness in EV adoption and infrastructure, including key areas like portable chargers and Level 2 home charging.

With the rollback of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit under the Trump administration, states across the U.S. are stepping up to keep electric vehicle adoption on track. This article explores how local governments are responding—offering rebates, Level 2 charger incentives, and other support to EV buyers. We also examine what these changes mean for EV affordability, portable charger demand, and future market trends. Whether you're considering buying or leasing, understanding the evolving incentive landscape is key in 2025.

The newly passed U.S. legislation eliminates the $7,500 federal EV tax credit starting October 1, 2025, but introduces a partial offset: a tax deduction of up to $10,000 per year on interest paid for auto loans used to purchase qualifying U.S.-assembled EVs. This blog breaks down how the new deduction works, who qualifies, which vehicles are eligible, and what it means for the EV leasing market. We also highlight how accessories like EVDANCE portable chargers with NEMA compatibility can further enhance EV ownership.

The U.S. Highway Trust Fund (HTF) faces insolvency by 2028, threatening $40 billion in annual shortfalls. The gas tax hasn’t been raised since 1993, while EVs and fuel efficiency reduce fuel purchases, shrinking revenue. Without action, key infrastructure projects will stall, harming the economy and daily commutes. Experts recommend raising user fees, implementing vehicle mileage taxes (VMT), and reforming EV contributions to modernize the funding model.

Trump's repeal of the $7,500 EV subsidy and new $250 annual EV tax signal a shift away from federal clean energy support. These policies raise EV costs, reduce adoption incentives, and may hinder infrastructure growth and emissions targets. The EV market, especially budget-conscious consumers and charging manufacturers like EVDANCE, now faces financial and regulatory headwinds. Author: Lay Wen.
