Trump called EV range anxiety a “disease” during remarks in Las Vegas. But President Trump took the familiar issue of range anxiety and turned it into “a disease” during remarks in Las Vegas on Wednesday. He said EV drivers begin worrying about where to charge when their battery is still three-quarters full, calling them “crazy.” The claim that there was “no way” to charge electric cars does not hold up either. But it’s also partially a byproduct of Trump’s move to end the $7,500 federal EV tax credit.
