Republicans make Biden’s EV push an election-year issue as Democrats take a more nuanced approach

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Donald Trump and other Republicans say President Joe Biden’s policy to promote electric vehicles is unfair for consumers and amounts to government overreach.

In this election year, Biden and Democrats have been less vocal and more nuanced as they push for his climate reduction goals while promoting homegrown technology over competition from China. Interviews with about 20 people in the pivotal industrial heartlands of Ohio and Michigan reveal a more complicated dynamic among voters who may decide the winner of November’s presidential and Senate elections.
