There's a solid financial reason.
EVs are HEAVY. Those old parking garage structures are NOT built to handle all of that increased weight!
Oh...and there's the fire danger from parked EVs as well.
These trucks are also a rather large footprint. They don't exactly fit in those parking garages very well, even with the four wheel steering!
He started doing it last time he was in power. We understand it well. Trump did not learn from what it caused last time. We paid 12 billion to keep American farmers afloat after his Chinese tariffs hurt them. I thought that taught him something. It did not. Perhaps destroying American businesses is the point.
Tariffs will result in higher costs for American consumers. I am not sure why that is a good idea.

Worse are electric bicycles. One fellow DIED when his E-bike exploded in the elevator he was riding in. There was nowhere to go to get away from the fire. There have been several instances of E-bikes exploding like this in apartments, condos, and hotels rooms.

Tariffs did not hurt any farmer, Sybil. You are hallucinating again.

The latest out on EV's is this Stanford research paper. Charging your EV at home, at night, is not good for the environment and 'climate change.'
news.stanford.edu
What the research found is that if EV's become the majority of vehicles privately owned, and most people charge theirs at night at home, then the power grid will require a major increase in natural gas, oil fired, or other non-solar / wind--Digressing a moment, solar doesn't work at night, battery or other storage is unaffordable, and wind power dies off at night too but not totally--meaning that high use of EV's is self defeating to the Gorebal Warming crowd.
And, the Aw shits for the radical Leftist environmentalists just keep coming...
Charging cars at home at night is not the way to go
The move to electric vehicles will result in large costs for generating, transmitting, and storing more power. Shifting current EV charging from home to work and night to day could cut costs and help the grid, according to a new Stanford study.

Yea, everybody needs $20,000 worth of EV battery just lying about to charged for their car...

From among bad options, it is the best. It's also the component most likely to fail from wear on the vehicle so swapping it out would extend the effective life by a significant margin.
Given track record of sealed AC motors a pure EV (designed correctly) could live for 80 years without significant maintenance costs (aside from tires and batteries and such).

Wrong! The best option is not to adopt and force EV's on the public!

Not practical and doesn't solve any problems. You are ignoring the weight of the battery and the coolant lines for it.

Not practical. You are ignoring the weight and cost of the battery and it's coolant lines.
Nope. The brakes and tires are. EVs are HEAVY. They are really hard on their brakes and tires.
Nope. You are forgetting the engine oil again.
Nope. You have to change the engine oil on the motors.

I'm not sure that's what the researchers said. Is it?
