Despite a wave of electric vehicle factories popping up across the U.S. in recent years—fueled by tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act and promises of jobs in mostly Republican areas—many of these projects are now being scrapped, according to a new article by the Washington Post.
Even before former President Trump’s new tariffs, the clean energy shift was already losing momentum.
In just the first quarter of 2025, more EV-related projects were canceled than in the previous two years combined, according to Atlas Public Policy.
Among the losses: a $1 billion thermal battery barrier plant in Georgia and a $1.2 billion lithium-ion battery factory in Arizona. Thousands of jobs are now in question, casting doubt on the future of homegrown EV production.
