Donald Trump can’t stop the shift to electric vehicles, according to the head of America’s largest charging network.
Rick Wilmer, chief executive officer of ChargePoint Holdings Inc., says EV sales will continue to grow even if Trump returns to the White House. While accepting the Republican presidential nomination at the party’s convention last week, Trump vowed to target President Joe Biden’s electric car policies “on day one” if he wins November’s election. The Biden administration has pumped billions of dollars into helping automakers switch to EVs and building a nationwide network of chargers for them.
